This medication should not be used in patients who have had allergic reactions to its ingredients. Patients with a history of allergy to shellfish (crabs, shrimp, etc.) should also avoid taking this medication. Additionally, this medication contains lactose, and should not be used in patients with genetic problems such as galactose intolerance, Lapp lactase deficiency, or glucose-galactose malabsorption. While taking this medication, hypersensitivity reactions such as skin rash, itching, and hives may rarely occur. Gastrointestinal symptoms such as constipation, diarrhea, abdominal bloating, and nausea may occasionally occur, and rarely vomiting or abdominal pain may occur. Due to the potential effect on liver function, caution should be taken as there may be a possibility of liver dysfunction or jaundice. Furthermore, cases of chest tightness or general fatigue have been reported infrequently. If these adverse reactions appear, you should consult a physician to adjust the dosage or discontinue the medication as necessary. Pregnant women or women of childbearing potential should only use this medication when the benefits of treatment outweigh the risks, as its safety has not been fully established. Breastfeeding women should also avoid taking this medication as its safety has not been established, and if it is absolutely necessary to take it, breastfeeding should be discontinued. The safety of this medication has not been established in children, and there is no usage experience. In elderly patients, while the absorption rate of this medication is low, caution is needed as weakened gastrointestinal function may cause constipation. Animal studies have shown morphological abnormalities in sperm at high doses, so the potential impact on reproductive health should also be considered.
