Precautions

This medication should not be administered to certain patients. For example, it should not be used in patients who have had allergic reactions to this medication or its components, those taking certain antiviral medications, and women in the early stages of pregnancy or breastfeeding. Caution is necessary when using this medication as various adverse reactions may occur. Symptoms such as abdominal pain, constipation, and diarrhea can appear, and systemic symptoms like fatigue or fever have also been reported. Rarely, skin rashes, severe allergic reactions, liver function abnormalities, muscle pain, and psychological changes may occur.
