This medicine should not be used in patients with an allergy to its ingredients or those who have experienced hypersensitivity reactions. While taking this medication, very rarely severe allergic reactions such as shock or anaphylaxis may occur. If symptoms appear, immediately discontinue the medication and seek appropriate treatment. Additionally, leukocyte or platelet counts may decrease, so blood status should be checked regularly. If abnormalities are found, discontinue the medication and consult a doctor. Liver function may be affected, so liver function tests should be performed, and if liver dysfunction or jaundice symptoms appear, the medication should be immediately discontinued. Skin hypersensitivity reactions such as urticaria, rash, and itching may occur, so if these symptoms arise, the medication should be stopped. There may be neurological symptoms such as dizziness, drowsiness, and numbness, so caution is advised while driving or operating machinery. Gastrointestinal symptoms may include dry mouth, constipation, abdominal bloating, diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, heartburn, abdominal pain, belching, and taste disturbances. Pregnant women or women who may become pregnant should only use this medication when the benefits of treatment outweigh the risks, as its safety has not been established. Breastfeeding should be avoided as the medication may pass into breast milk. Safety for children and newborns has not been fully established, so caution is needed when using it in these groups. Elderly patients have decreased bodily functions, making them more susceptible to gastrointestinal symptoms and side effects; therefore, they should take the medication carefully. Finally, keep this medication out of reach of children, and do not transfer it to another container for safety and proper quality maintenance.
