Women who are pregnant or may become pregnant should only use this medication if its benefits outweigh the risks, as safety has not been fully verified. Lactating women should preferably avoid taking this medication, as it may transfer into breast milk; if it is absolutely necessary to take it, it is advisable to discontinue breastfeeding. Safety in children has not been sufficiently confirmed, and there is a lack of experience with use, so caution is necessary. This medication should be kept out of reach of children, and care should be taken as transferring it to another container may alter its quality. The half-life of this medication in the body is about 150 hours, which is relatively long, so this should be considered during administration. Animal studies have reported reduced mating rates and decreased birth weights when administered early in pregnancy, so caution is needed during pregnancy. Animal studies regarding carcinogenicity have not yet been conducted, so caution is necessary for long-term use.
