Precautions

This medication should not be used in patients with allergic reactions to its ingredients. Patients with kidney or liver impairment, as well as elderly patients, should use it with caution.

This drug may cause drowsiness, so caution should be exercised when driving or operating hazardous machinery. Patients who have been receiving long-term steroid treatment should gradually reduce the steroid dosage when taking this medication, and patients with impaired kidney function should start with a low dose and monitor their condition closely. For patients with seasonal allergic rhinitis, it is advisable to use this medication at the appropriate time according to the season, and if there is no effect, long-term use should be avoided. As with other antihistamines, concurrent use with alcohol may exacerbate side effects, so it should be avoided. It is advisable for pregnant women or women who may become pregnant to not use this medication, and if necessary, to discuss it with a doctor and decide carefully. Breastfeeding women should also avoid using this medication during lactation. Safety in children has not been established; thus, caution is needed in usage. Elderly patients should use this medication with caution due to the potential for increased drug concentration from reduced kidney function. This medication may affect allergy tests, so it is advisable to discontinue it before testing. The drug should be taken out of its packaging before use, as swallowing the packaging whole may cause damage to the esophagus. Finally, this medication should be stored out of the reach of children, in a dry place, and at a temperature below 30 degrees Celsius.
