Precautions

This medication contains an ingredient called Alpha-Lipoic Acid. You should not use this medication if you are allergic to Alpha-Lipoic Acid or any of the excipients in this medication. Additionally, since safety for children and adolescents has not been adequately verified, this medication should not be administered to children or adolescents. During use, gastrointestinal symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, and diarrhea may rarely occur. There may also be allergic reactions including skin rashes, hives, and itching. Be cautious as there is a possibility of hypoglycemic symptoms such as dizziness, sweating, headache, and vision disturbances due to low blood sugar levels. Sometimes, there may be abnormalities in taste perception. Frequent alcohol consumption while taking this medication may exacerbate nerve damage, thus it is advisable to avoid alcohol as much as possible, including during drug-free periods. This medication may reduce the effectiveness of a specific anticancer drug, cisplatin, so it is best not to take them together. Additionally, taking this medication concurrently with drugs containing metal components such as iron or magnesium or high-calcium foods like milk may hinder the absorption of this medication, so a time interval between dosages should be maintained. There is a risk of excessively lowering blood sugar levels when taken with insulin or other diabetes medications, so blood sugar levels should be checked frequently and the dosage of diabetes medications adjusted as necessary. Women who are pregnant or breastfeeding should use this medication cautiously, as its safety has not been fully established based on a physician's judgment. In case of overdose, severe toxic symptoms may appear, including loss of consciousness, generalized seizures, hypoglycemia, and multiorgan failure. If overdose is suspected, seek immediate medical attention for appropriate treatment. This medication should not be stored at temperatures above 30 degrees Celsius and must be kept in a safe place out of the reach of children.
