While rare, serious side effects such as shock or anaphylaxis can occur during treatment; if symptoms occur, discontinue use immediately and seek medical assistance. Additionally, since there may be a decrease in white blood cell or platelet count, it is important to periodically check blood counts. If liver function issues arise, discontinue use and seek appropriate treatment based on liver function test results. If allergic symptoms such as hives, rashes, or itching develop, the medication should also be discontinued. This drug may cause neurological symptoms such as dizziness or drowsiness; caution is advised when driving or operating machinery. Gastrointestinal symptoms may occur, including dry mouth, constipation, abdominal pain, heartburn, etc.; if symptoms are severe, consultation with medical professionals is necessary. Pregnant women or those who may become pregnant should only use this medication when the benefits of treatment outweigh the risks due to uncertain safety. Those who are breastfeeding should avoid this medication as it may be transferred through breast milk. Safety for children or infants has not been sufficiently established, so caution is necessary when using it in these populations.
