This medication should not be used in patients with allergic reactions or those suffering from myasthenia gravis. Additionally, it should not be administered to patients with genetic conditions such as galactose intolerance, lactase deficiency, or glucose-galactose malabsorption. Careful use is required for patients with a history of hypersensitivity to this drug and those with liver function issues. This medication may rarely cause severe side effects such as shock, liver dysfunction, kidney dysfunction, and anemia, so symptoms should be closely monitored. Various side effects may occur, including skin rash, itching, insomnia, drowsiness, headache, dyspepsia, urinary retention, lethargy, and others. If symptoms of serious skin reactions such as Stevens-Johnson syndrome appear, medication should be stopped immediately and treatment sought. Drowsiness or decreased concentration may occur during the use of this drug; therefore, it is advisable to avoid driving or operating hazardous machinery. Additionally, caution is required when using this medication alongside similar drugs or specific muscle relaxants, as it may cause visual disturbances. Women who are pregnant or may become pregnant should only use this medication if the benefits outweigh the risks, as its safety has not been established, and breastfeeding women should preferably avoid it or discontinue breastfeeding. There is insufficient confirmation of safety in pediatric patients, so caution is necessary when using it. Elderly patients may have weakened physical functions, so special care should be taken, such as reducing the dosage.
