Precautions

This medication should not be used by individuals with allergic reactions to its components. It is particularly safe not to administer to patients with low blood pressure or those with gastrointestinal issues. This drug contains a dye called Tartrazine (Yellow No. 5); those who are allergic or sensitive to this dye must use it with caution. While using, allergic reactions such as hives, itching, or rashes may occur; in severe cases, respiratory distress can manifest, so if any unusual symptoms develop, contact healthcare professionals immediately. Gastrointestinal symptoms may include diarrhea, abdominal pain, vomiting, and, rarely, abnormal liver function, headaches, or dizziness can also occur. It is essential to follow the prescribed dosage and administration, and inform doctors or pharmacists about any other medications being taken to avoid interactions. Women who are pregnant or breastfeeding should avoid using this medication due to insufficient evidence regarding its safety. Children under 18 years of age should not be recommended for use due to insufficient safety and efficacy established for this age group. In case of overdose, excessively low blood pressure or certain toxic reactions may occur, and immediate medical attention should be sought for treatment in such cases. Store this medication out of the reach of children, and it is important to avoid transferring it to other containers, as this may compromise its quality.
