Occasional gastrointestinal symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, and diarrhea may occur, so care should be taken when taking this medication. Allergic reactions, such as skin rashes, urticaria, or itching, may rarely occur, so any skin changes should be monitored immediately.

Sometimes there may be changes in taste perception, so if these symptoms persist, it is advisable to consult a physician. Individuals who frequently consume alcohol may be at risk of worsening nerve damage; therefore, it is advisable to avoid alcohol during the use of this medication and during the drug-free period. This medication may reduce the effectiveness of the specific anticancer drug cisplatin, so caution should be taken to avoid concurrent use. Taking this medication with iron, magnesium, or calcium-containing products or foods may hinder absorption, so it is recommended to take this medication 30 minutes before meals and to take iron supplements afterward. Furthermore, when taken with insulin or other diabetes medications, blood sugar may become too low, so blood glucose levels should be checked frequently, and medication dosages adjusted if necessary. Pregnant or breastfeeding women should only take this medication if deemed necessary by a physician, as its safety has not been fully established. In the case of overdose, severe toxicity symptoms may occur, and immediate medical attention is required, with possible need for induced vomiting or gastric lavage.
