Precautions

This medication should not be used by individuals who have allergic reactions to any of its ingredients. Caution is required for individuals with kidney or liver issues, and for older adults when using this drug. While taking this medication, neurological symptoms such as drowsiness, lethargy, headache, and dizziness may occur, as well as gastrointestinal symptoms like dry mouth, indigestion, and diarrhea. Also, blood values or liver function test results may change, and skin rash or swelling may develop. It is advisable to avoid driving or operating dangerous machinery during the use of this medication. Individuals who are on long-term steroid therapy and are taking this medication should reduce their steroid dosage gradually. In patients with reduced kidney function, the serum concentration of this medication can increase, so it is important to start at a low dose and monitor the condition carefully. For patients with seasonal allergic rhinitis, it is recommended to begin taking this medication at the appropriate time considering the season, and not to use it long-term if ineffective. Combination with other antihistamines or excessive alcohol should be avoided. Pregnant women or women with a possibility of pregnancy are advised not to use this medication unless absolutely necessary, in which case consultation with a physician for careful consideration is essential. Nursing mothers are also advised to avoid breastfeeding while taking this medication. The safety of this medication in children has not been sufficiently confirmed, so usage should be approached with caution. Older adults should use this medication carefully due to the potential for increased concentrations caused by decreased kidney function. This medication may affect allergy tests, so it is advisable to stop taking it before undergoing testing. When storing, keep out of reach of children, protect from moisture, and store at a temperature below 30 degrees Celsius.
