It should be used with caution in patients with thrombosis or coagulation disorders, severe liver, kidney, heart, or lung issues, and those with a history of drug allergies. This medicine contains the pigments Yellow No. 4 and Yellow No. 5, so caution is needed if allergic to these components. During use, side effects such as indigestion, nausea, diarrhea, headache, and rash may occur, and abnormalities in liver function or changes in blood test results have been reported. Particularly for patients with gastritis or gastric ulcers, caution is required as insufficient studies have been conducted, and if symptoms do not improve after taking the medication for more than two weeks, it is advised to consult a physician or pharmacist. There is insufficient research on interactions with other drugs, so caution is advised if other medications are being taken concurrently. Pregnant or breastfeeding women should only use this medication when the benefits of treatment outweigh the risks, as its safety has not been established.
