Precautions

This medication should not be used by individuals with hereditary conditions such as galactose intolerance, lactase deficiency, or glucose-galactose malabsorption as it contains lactose. While taking this medication, liver function may become abnormal; caution should be exercised if symptoms such as elevated liver enzyme levels or liver dysfunction occur. Gastrointestinal and skin-related side effects such as constipation, rashes, and itching may occur rarely, and immediate consultation with a doctor is necessary if such symptoms appear. Symptoms such as dizziness, drowsiness, loss of appetite, and abdominal bloating have also been reported occasionally, so it is important to monitor one's health closely. Elderly patients may have decreased body function, so when starting this medication, it should be administered slowly from a lower dosage, and their condition should be closely monitored. Pregnant women or those who may become pregnant should only take this medication if the benefits outweigh the risks, as safety during pregnancy has not been sufficiently established. Breastfeeding women should avoid taking this medication if possible since it may be transmitted in small amounts through breast milk, or it is recommended to discontinue breastfeeding while taking the medication. The safety of this medication has not been sufficiently established for children, so it should be used cautiously. This medication should be stored out of the reach of children, and transferring it to another container is not recommended as it may compromise the quality.
