Precautions

This medicine should not be used by those with allergic reactions to its ingredients. Additionally, because this medication contains lactose, individuals with a genetic issue that prevents lactose digestion should not take it. Those with impaired kidney or liver function, as well as elderly individuals, should use this medicine with caution. This medication can cause neurological symptoms like drowsiness, headache, dizziness, and gastrointestinal symptoms like vomiting and diarrhea. It may also affect blood, liver, and kidney functions; therefore, if any abnormal symptoms occur, consult a doctor promptly. Since this medication may induce drowsiness, caution is advised when driving or operating hazardous machinery. Individuals receiving long-term steroid therapy should carefully adjust the steroid dosage when taking this medication. For those with diminished kidney function, the drug concentration may increase, so it should be initiated at a low dose and monitored closely. Patients with seasonal allergic rhinitis should consider the season and start and end the medication at appropriate times. If no effect is observed, it is advisable not to continue taking the medication for a long period. Care should be taken to avoid concurrent use with other antihistamines or alcohol. Pregnant women or those who may become pregnant are advised not to use this medication. If it is necessary, consult a doctor before making a careful decision. Breastfeeding women should also avoid this medication if possible; if it must be taken, it is safer to stop breastfeeding. The safety for children has not been established, so caution is needed when using it in this population. Elderly individuals should use caution as decreased kidney function may prolong the retention of the drug in the body. This medication may affect allergy tests, so it is best not to take it before testing. When taking the medication, be sure to take the tablet out of the packaging and avoid swallowing the packaging.
