Precautions

This medication should not be used for patients in severe conditions requiring meal restrictions, such as gastric suction, fasting, or dysphagia.

Additionally, this medication contains lactose, so it should not be administered to patients with genetic disorders that prevent the breakdown of lactose. Caution should be exercised while using this medication in pregnant women or women who may become pregnant, children, and elderly patients. While using this medication, if an increase in eosinophils is observed in blood tests or if there is a rare decrease in white blood cells and platelets, the dosage should be reduced or the medication should be discontinued if such symptoms appear. Allergic reactions such as skin rash or itching may occasionally occur, and the medication should be stopped if such symptoms appear. Gastrointestinal side effects may include loss of appetite, nausea, dry mouth, abdominal pain, abdominal discomfort, abdominal distension, diarrhea, rare vomiting, heartburn, and constipation.

If symptoms do not improve, it is advisable not to use this medication for a prolonged period. During pregnancy, high-dose administration has been reported to cause fetal weight reduction in animal experiments, so pregnant women should avoid high-dose administration.
