This medication may lead to side effects such as amenorrhea, excessive milk secretion, or gynecomastia due to hormonal imbalance, and use must be stopped immediately if symptoms occur. Rarely, symptoms such as tremors, tongue movement abnormalities, or anxiety may arise, and treatment should be discontinued if these symptoms appear. Prolonged use may lead to involuntary movements around the mouth, which may persist even after stopping the medication. Gastrointestinal side effects such as dry mouth, heartburn, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and constipation can occur. Cardiac side effects such as hypertension or arrhythmia may occur, so caution is advised. Rarely, a serious side effect known as Neuroleptic Malignant Syndrome may occur, characterized by high fever, muscle rigidity, and altered consciousness; immediate discontinuation of the medication and treatment is required.

It is recommended to avoid activities requiring attention, such as driving or operating machinery while taking this medication. Concurrent use with medications that pose a risk of cardiac arrhythmias may increase the risk of side effects, necessitating careful monitoring. During co-administration with certain drugs, unexpected side effects may emerge, so consultation with healthcare providers is necessary, and it should not be taken with alcohol. Use during pregnancy may pose risks to the fetus, thus women who are pregnant or planning to become pregnant should not use this medication. Elderly patients may experience increased drug concentration due to renal function decline, so dosage and intervals should be adjusted, paying close attention to the occurrence of side effects. This medication suppresses vomiting and may conceal or worsen vomiting symptoms caused by other factors, thus symptoms should be monitored closely.
