Precautions

During the use of this medication, some patients may experience adverse reactions such as diarrhea or loose stools, dry mouth, and lethargy. Because it can affect liver function, if symptoms of hepatitis or liver dysfunction appear, the medication should be discontinued immediately and a doctor should be consulted. Allergic reactions such as rashes or hives may occur, so it is important to monitor for changes in the skin. Gastrointestinal symptoms such as abdominal pain, nausea, and vomiting may occur, and in rare cases, symptoms such as palpitations, dizziness, and headaches may also arise. If gastrointestinal symptoms do not improve after taking the medication for more than two weeks, prolonged use is not recommended. The effectiveness of this medication may be reduced when taken with anticholinergics, so caution should be exercised with dosing intervals if taken together. Women who are pregnant or may become pregnant should carefully consider the risks and benefits of taking this medication, and breastfeeding should be avoided or breastfeeding should be discontinued while taking this medication. Safety for children has not been established, so it is preferable not to use this medication in pediatric patients. Elderly patients should be monitored closely and dosing adjusted due to potential decreased kidney or liver function. This medication should be stored out of reach of children, and transferring it to another container is not advisable as it may affect the quality.
