Precautions

This medication should not be used in patients who have had an allergic reaction to its ingredients. During the use of this medication, very rarely, severe allergic reactions such as shock or anaphylaxis may occur, so if any abnormal symptoms appear, discontinue administration immediately and seek appropriate treatment. Additionally, the number of white blood cells and platelets in the blood may decrease, so regular blood tests should be conducted to monitor the condition. Liver function may be affected, so if abnormal liver function tests or symptoms of jaundice occur, discontinue use immediately and consult a physician. Allergic symptoms, such as hives, rashes, and itching, may occur on the skin, so if these symptoms arise, the medication should be stopped. Symptoms related to the nervous system, such as dizziness, drowsiness, and paralysis, may occur, so caution is needed when driving or operating machinery. Gastrointestinal symptoms such as dry mouth, constipation, abdominal bloating, diarrhea, vomiting, and heartburn may occur, so if discomfort is severe, consult a physician. Pregnant women or those who may become pregnant should use this medication only when the benefits of treatment are deemed to outweigh the risks, as its safety has not yet been established. This medication may be excreted in breast milk, so nursing mothers should avoid breastfeeding while taking the drug. Caution should be exercised when administering this medication to children, especially underweight infants or newborns, as its safety has not been fully confirmed. The elderly can also use this medication, but as their physiological functions may be deteriorated, they should be cautious regarding the occurrence of adverse gastrointestinal symptoms. This medication must be kept out of reach of children, and transferring to another container may not be good for quality maintenance, so it's safer to store it in its original packaging.
