In clinical trials and post-marketing studies, neurological symptoms such as drowsiness, headache, dizziness, and gastrointestinal symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea have been reported. Furthermore, hypersensitivity reactions such as blood count changes, elevated liver function tests, kidney-related abnormalities, and skin rashes may occur. Since drowsiness may occur while taking this medication, caution should be taken when driving a vehicle or operating dangerous machinery. For patients receiving long-term steroid treatment, the steroid dose should be tapered gradually when taking this medication. Patients with decreased kidney function may have an increased blood concentration of this medication, thus should start at a low dose and be monitored closely.

It is advisable for women who are pregnant or may become pregnant not to use this medication, and if necessary, to use it cautiously after consulting a physician. Breastfeeding women should also avoid taking this medication, as it can be transferred to the baby through breast milk. The safety of this medication in children has not been sufficiently confirmed, so caution is needed when using it. Elderly individuals may be at risk for increased concentration of this medication due to impaired kidney function, so careful monitoring is required during administration. Taking this medication before an allergy test may affect the test results, so it is advisable not to take it before the test.
