During usage, side effects such as diarrhea, loose stools, dry mouth, and fatigue may occur, so caution is necessary. Serious liver diseases such as impaired liver function or fulminant hepatitis may also occur, so if symptoms appear, discontinue usage immediately and consult a doctor. Allergic reactions such as skin rash, hives, and edema may occur, and eosinophilia or leukopenia may be detected in blood tests. Gastrointestinal symptoms such as abdominal distension, nausea, vomiting, and taste disturbances have been reported. Other abnormal reactions, such as palpitations, dizziness, headache, tremors, fatigue, and elevated triglycerides, may also occur, so the condition during usage should be carefully monitored. If gastrointestinal symptoms do not improve after long-term use of this medication, it is advisable to discontinue use. When taken with anticholinergics, the effect of this medication may diminish, so a gap should be maintained between the two medications. Pregnant women or those who may become pregnant should use this medication cautiously, as its safety has not been established, and breastfeeding individuals are advised to avoid administration or discontinue breastfeeding. Safety in children has not been confirmed, so it is best not to use this medication in children. Elderly individuals may have reduced kidney and liver function, therefore their condition should be closely monitored, and dosage adjustments may be necessary. This medication should be stored out of reach of children, and care should be taken not to transfer it to another container, as this may alter its quality.
