Precautions

Do not use this drug in patients who have had allergic reactions to this drug or its components. Patients with gastrointestinal bleeding, obstructions, or perforations may experience worsening conditions when taking this drug, so it should not be administered. This drug contains lactose and is therefore not suitable for patients with lactose intolerance or certain genetic metabolic disorders. Serious allergic reactions such as shock or anaphylaxis may occur while taking this drug. If symptoms such as difficulty breathing, low blood pressure, or hives appear, discontinue use immediately and inform medical personnel. Liver function may deteriorate, or jaundice may appear. If liver enzyme abnormalities are suspected, stop taking the drug and consult a doctor. Digestive symptoms such as nausea, diarrhea, constipation, abdominal pain, and increased salivation may occur, so consult a doctor if symptoms are severe. Neurological symptoms such as headaches, anxiety, sleep disorders, and dizziness may occur; if these persist, it is advisable to seek professional help. Hormonal-related adverse reactions such as gynecomastia or elevated prolactin levels may appear, so if these symptoms occur, discontinue use and seek consultation. Blood abnormalities such as thrombocytopenia or leukopenia may occur, so regular blood tests are necessary, and if any abnormalities are found, discontinue use. This drug may affect kidney function, so it is important to check kidney-related test results while taking it. Occasionally, hypersensitivity reactions may present as skin rash, itching, or redness, so if these symptoms appear, discontinue use immediately. Other side effects such as tremors, chest pain, or fatigue may also occur, so it is vital to monitor one's health carefully. This drug enhances the action of acetylcholine, which should be kept in mind during use, and it is best not to use it for prolonged periods if digestive symptoms do not improve. Caution is needed when taking it with anticholinergics, as their effects may diminish; therefore, dosage intervals should be managed accordingly. Pregnant women or those who may become pregnant should only use this drug when the therapeutic benefits outweigh the risks, as its safety has not been established. This drug may be excreted in breast milk, so it is best not to use it while nursing; if unavoidable, breastfeeding should be discontinued. Safety for children has not been sufficiently confirmed, so it should be administered with caution to children. Elderly patients are more prone to adverse reactions due to decreased bodily functions, so symptoms should be monitored closely, and dosage adjustments or discontinuation may be necessary.
