There may also be changes in blood counts or liver function, necessitating regular testing. It is advisable to avoid driving or operating dangerous machinery while taking this medication. If receiving steroid treatment, dosage should be adjusted gradually when using this medication along with reducing the steroid dosage. Patients with impaired renal function should start at a lower dose and be closely monitored. The efficacy of this medication has not been sufficiently studied in patients with seasonal allergic rhinitis, so caution is advised; if necessary, start before the allergy season and continue until the season ends. It is not recommended to take this medication long-term without effect. It is safe not to take it with other antihistamines or excessive alcohol. Women who are pregnant or may become pregnant are advised not to use this medication, and if it is necessary, it should be discussed with a physician. Breastfeeding women are also advised to avoid taking this medication. The safety of this medication in children has not been sufficiently established, so it should be used with caution in this population. Elderly patients require special attention as drug concentration may increase due to decreased renal function. This medication may affect allergy tests, so it is best to discontinue use before any testing. When taking the medication, the tablet should be removed from the packaging for ingestion, being careful not to swallow the packaging.
