Precautions

This medication should not be used in patients with hypersensitivity to its components. It should be administered with caution in patients with renal or liver function problems, and in the elderly. While taking this medication, symptoms such as drowsiness, headache, and dizziness may occur, as well as gastrointestinal symptoms such as dry mouth, nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea. Adverse effects such as changes in blood levels, elevated liver function values, and skin rashes have also been reported. Activities requiring concentration, such as driving or operating dangerous machinery, should be approached with caution during treatment with this medication. In patients who have undergone long-term steroid treatment, the dosage of steroids should be gradually reduced when taking this medication. For patients with decreased kidney function, the plasma concentration of the drug may increase, so it is advisable to start with a low dose and adjust if any adverse effects are observed. For patients with seasonal allergic rhinitis, it is advisable to consider the season when starting and stopping this medication. Alcohol should be avoided while taking this medication. Women who are pregnant or could become pregnant, as well as nursing mothers, are advised not to use this medication unless absolutely necessary and should consult a doctor if required. The safety of this medication in children has not been established, so caution is necessary when administering to children. Since this medication is primarily excreted through the kidneys, caution should be exercised in the elderly due to the risk of increased drug concentration due to decreased renal function. Taking this medication prior to an allergy test may affect test results; therefore, it is advisable not to take it before testing. The tablets should be taken out of their packaging for use, and care should be taken not to swallow the packaging. Keep out of reach of children and store in a dry place below 30 degrees Celsius.
