Those with a history of drug allergy or allergy to Yellow No. 4 (Tartrazine) should be careful. Occasionally, gastrointestinal symptoms such as nausea, loss of appetite, diarrhea, vomiting, heartburn, and upper abdominal pain may occur when taking this medication. Dizziness, headache, skin rash and itching, and liver function abnormalities have been reported rarely. When used alongside non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, gastrointestinal symptoms such as abdominal distension, upper abdominal pain, heartburn, nausea, and diarrhea may occur frequently. This medication has been used for a maximum of 2 weeks in patients with acute or chronic gastritis, and if symptoms do not improve after 2 weeks of use, it is essential to consult a doctor or pharmacist. Pregnant women or women who may become pregnant should only take this medication if the benefits of treatment are considered to outweigh the risks. Lactating women should also only take this medication if necessary, as it is uncertain whether it is transmitted through breast milk. Regular testing may be required as taking this medication can change the liver function test values (ALT and AST) and blood test results. This medication should be stored in a sealed container to avoid exposure to air or moisture and should ideally be kept at room temperature between 1°C and 30°C to maintain its effectiveness and safety.
