Particularly when children under 14 years old catch chickenpox or influenza, this medication should be used very cautiously, and the patient's condition should be closely monitored after administration. This medication helps alleviate symptoms, but it is not a treatment for underlying causes; therefore, it should be used appropriately according to a doctor's instructions in cases of chronic or acute diseases. During use, body temperature changes or the general condition should be carefully monitored, especially for children or the elderly with high fever, or patients with wasting diseases, who require more attention.

Elderly patients have a higher likelihood of experiencing side effects, so it is suggested to start with a lower dosage and monitor their condition closely during treatment. As this drug is enteric-coated, care should be taken to avoid damaging the enteric coating, and it is advisable not to take it with certain preparations. Store this medication out of the reach of children, keeping it in the original container to maintain quality.
