This medication contains lactose, so it should not be used by patients with genetic issues such as galactose intolerance, lactase deficiency, or glucose-galactose malabsorption. Side effects such as diarrhea or loose stools, dry mouth, and malaise may occur while taking this medication. Though rare, severe adverse reactions such as liver dysfunction, fulminant hepatitis, and jaundice may occur, so if symptoms appear, immediately discontinue use and visit a hospital. Additionally, hypersensitivity reactions such as rash, urticaria, and swelling may occur, and symptoms such as changes in blood counts, gastrointestinal issues, elevated liver enzymes, palpitations, dizziness, and headache have been reported. If gastrointestinal symptoms do not improve after taking this medication for more than 2 weeks, it is advisable not to continue long-term use. The effectiveness may be reduced when taken with anticholinergics, so if using both medications, they should be spaced appropriately. Pregnant women or those who could become pregnant should use this medication cautiously, as its safety during pregnancy has not been established, and it should only be used when necessary. Breastfeeding women should avoid taking this medication if possible, as it may be passed to breast milk, and if unavoidable, breastfeeding should be discontinued. Safety has not been established for pediatric use, so there is no experience in administration for children. Elderly patients may have reduced kidney and liver function, so they should be monitored closely and the dosage should be reduced if necessary. This medication should be kept out of reach of children and transferring it to another container should be avoided due to risk of accidents and quality maintenance issues. In animal studies, prolonged high-dose administration resulted in increased tumor incidence, so caution is needed for long-term use.
