Precautions

This medication contains lactose, so it should not be used in patients with genetic disorders that prevent lactose digestion. It should be used cautiously in patients with thrombosis or consumptive coagulopathy, as well as in patients with severe problems in major organs such as the liver, kidneys, heart, lungs, or blood. Anyone who has had a history of allergy symptoms to medications or is allergic to Yellow No. 4 (Tartrazine) included in this medication should also take caution. While taking this drug, gastrointestinal symptoms such as nausea, loss of appetite, diarrhea, vomiting, heartburn, and abdominal pain may occur. Additionally, neurological symptoms like dizziness or headache and skin reactions such as rashes or itching may also occur. Liver function-related test values may change; therefore, regular testing is necessary. When used with non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, gastrointestinal-related side effects may occur more frequently, so caution is warranted. Pregnant or potentially pregnant women, as well as nursing mothers, should consult with a doctor before use as the safety of this medication has not been fully confirmed. If symptoms do not improve within 2 weeks, it is advisable to stop taking the medication and consult a specialist. Furthermore, keep this medication out of the reach of children and store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
