While taking this medication, various side effects may occur, so caution is necessary. Rarely, shock reactions may occur, and if symptoms arise, treatment should be stopped immediately and medical attention sought.

Furthermore, when taken with similar medications like Tolperisone Hydrochloride or Metocarbamol, visual disturbances may occur, so concurrent use is not recommended.
