Precautions

This medication should not be taken by individuals who are hypersensitive to any of its components. Consult a doctor or pharmacist if you have difficulty swallowing food, experience pain while swallowing, or have hematemesis or bloody stools. If heartburn persists for more than 3 months or occurs with dizziness, cold sweats, or lightheadedness, you should consult a professional. If you experience pain in the chest or shoulders, shortness of breath, or frequent episodes of chest pain, it is important to consult before taking this medication. If you notice unexpected weight loss, nausea, vomiting, or stomach pain, consult a doctor or pharmacist. If you are taking nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs or have hypersensitivity to other medications, have kidney or liver issues, or are elderly, it is crucial to consult a professional before taking this medication. Women who are pregnant or may become pregnant, as well as nursing mothers, should consult a doctor before taking this medication, as it may be transmitted through the placenta or breast milk. This medication may interact with other drugs, so if you are taking certain medications, you may need dosage adjustments or discontinuation; consult a professional. If symptoms persist or worsen during treatment, stop taking the medication immediately and consult a doctor or pharmacist. This medication should not be taken continuously for more than 14 days, and if serious side effects such as hives, rash, difficulty breathing, blood abnormalities, or liver function disorders occur, discontinue use immediately and consult a professional. This medication may mask symptoms of stomach cancer, so it should only be used temporarily for symptom relief. Taking with high doses of sucralfate may reduce absorption, so it is advisable to allow intervals between doses. In case of overdose, appropriate treatment such as vomiting or gastric lavage may be necessary, and in some cases, removal may be achieved by hemodialysis. Do not take this medication with alcoholic beverages, and consult a doctor or pharmacist if there are any changes in bodily functions after administration. Elderly patients or those with chronic lung disease, diabetes, or weakened immunity may have an increased risk of pneumonia, so caution is advised. False positive results may occur in urine tests, so care should be taken in interpreting test results. This medication should be kept out of the reach of children and stored in its original container to prevent misuse or degradation of quality.
