This medication should not be used in patients with complete bile duct obstruction.

Care should be taken when using this medication in patients with chronic active hepatitis or cirrhosis, patients with hypokalemia, severe pancreatic disease, peptic ulcer, or cholelithiasis. Gastrointestinal symptoms such as diarrhea, nausea, and vomiting may occur occasionally when taking this medication, and rarely abdominal pain, constipation, heartburn, or upper abdominal discomfort may also occur. There may be allergic reactions such as itching or rash, and although skin rashes may occur, symptoms generally resolve with the use of antihistamines. Transient jaundice may occur, but the condition will resolve upon discontinuation of the medication or with the use of jaundice treatment drugs. Rarely, symptoms like generalized malaise or dizziness may appear. A study conducted over 6 years on 640 patients with chronic persistent hepatitis showed a very low incidence of adverse drug reactions; however, severe side effects such as cirrhosis, ascites, and acute hepatitis C have been reported, so caution is needed. When taking this medication, it is essential to strictly adhere to the prescribed usage and dosage, and if symptoms do not improve or adverse symptoms appear even after 8 weeks of use, the medication should be discontinued immediately and the patient should consult a doctor or pharmacist. It is important to keep this medication out of reach of children. Pregnant women or women who may become pregnant should preferably not use this medication, as harmful effects on the fetus have been reported in animal studies.
