Precautions

This medication should not be used by patients with an allergic reaction or hypersensitivity to its ingredients. Caution is advised when used in patients with impaired renal function, liver problems, and elderly individuals. In clinical trials, some patients may experience CNS symptoms such as drowsiness, headache, dizziness, as well as gastrointestinal symptoms like dry mouth, vomiting, and diarrhea. Blood test values may change or liver function values may increase, and allergic reactions such as skin rash or edema have been reported. Drowsiness may occur while taking this medication, so it is advisable to avoid driving or operating dangerous machinery. Patients on long-term steroid treatment should gradually reduce their steroid dose when starting this medication. Patients with renal impairment may have increased blood concentration of this drug, so it is recommended to start with a low dose and adjust or discontinue use if adverse symptoms appear. The effectiveness of this medication in seasonal allergic rhinitis patients has not been sufficiently studied, so it should be used with caution, and if ineffective, long-term use is not recommended. Excessive alcohol consumption with other antihistamines should be avoided. Pregnant women or those who may become pregnant should preferably avoid using this medication, and if necessary, should consult a doctor for careful consideration. Breastfeeding women should also avoid using this medication since it may be passed through breast milk to the baby, and if unavoidable, it is recommended to stop breastfeeding. Safety has not been established in pediatric patients, so use in children should be approached with caution. Elderly individuals should be cautious as drugs may accumulate due to reduced renal function. Taking this medication before an allergy skin test may affect the results, so it is advisable to refrain from using it before testing. When taking the medication, the packaged tablet should be removed and swallowed, and care should be taken not to swallow the packaging as it may cause damage to the esophagus or serious complications. Lastly, this medication should be kept out of reach of children, stored in a cool place with low humidity at temperatures below 30 degrees Celsius.
