Women who are pregnant or may become pregnant, as well as breastfeeding women, should not take this medication. Patients with severely impaired liver function should also avoid this medication.

Central nervous system symptoms, such as drowsiness, headache, and dizziness, are commonly reported. Occasionally, symptoms such as eyelid swelling or orthostatic dizziness may also appear. There may be an increase in white blood cells or elevated liver function test values in urine tests, so caution is necessary.
