If skin rashes, urticaria, swelling of the face or hands and feet, or severe itching occur during treatment with this medication, it should be stopped immediately and a doctor consulted. Also, symptoms such as drowsiness, headache, dizziness, and insomnia may occur, so caution is needed. Gastrointestinal symptoms such as nausea, abdominal pain, dry mouth, diarrhea, or constipation may occur, so if discomfort persists, inform medical staff. Signs of liver dysfunction, such as jaundice or elevated liver enzyme levels, may occur, so regular liver function tests are necessary, and if abnormalities are found, discontinue use. Rarely, it may affect kidney function, so symptoms such as proteinuria should be monitored. Urinary symptoms such as frequency, hematuria, or difficulty urinating may occur, so consult with medical staff if symptoms develop. Cardiovascular and respiratory adverse reactions such as palpitations or shortness of breath may occur, so careful observation is required. Hematological adverse reactions, such as thrombocytopenia or leukocytosis, have rarely been reported, so monitoring of symptoms is necessary. In women, gynecomastia, menstrual irregularities, and breast pain may rarely occur.

Elderly patients often have decreased liver and kidney function, increasing the likelihood of adverse reactions; therefore, regular observation and dosage adjustments may be necessary if required.
