Precautions

This medication should not be used in patients with severe conditions requiring dietary restrictions such as gastric acid aspiration, fasting, or other limitations.

This medication contains lactose, thus it should not be administered to patients with lactose intolerance or genetic metabolic disorders. Caution should be exercised when used in pregnant women or those who may become pregnant, children, and elderly patients. While using this medication, there may be an increase in eosinophils or decrease in white blood cell and platelet counts, requiring discontinuation or dosage reduction if these symptoms occur.

In the gastrointestinal tract, decreased appetite, nausea, dry mouth, abdominal pain, abdominal discomfort, diarrhea, vomiting, heartburn, and constipation may occur. Liver function abnormalities or increased liver enzyme levels, as well as kidney function abnormalities have been reported rarely, thus regular testing may be necessary.
