Precautions

This medication should not be used by individuals allergic to its ingredients. Caution is needed for individuals with impaired kidney or liver function, as well as elderly patients. Taking this medication may cause symptoms such as drowsiness, headache, and dizziness, as well as gastrointestinal symptoms such as dry mouth, nausea, and diarrhea. There have also been reports of changes in blood counts, elevated liver enzymes, renal abnormalities, and hypersensitivity reactions such as rashes or swelling. While taking this medication, drowsiness may occur, thus driving or operating hazardous machinery should be avoided. If a patient has been undergoing long-term steroid treatment, the dosage of steroids should be gradually decreased when starting this medication. For individuals with decreased kidney function, drug concentration may increase, so starting at a lower dose and closely monitoring the condition is advisable. For seasonal allergic rhinitis patients, it is recommended to start taking the medication before the allergy worsens and continue until symptoms resolve. If no effect is observed, it is advisable not to continue long-term use. It is best to avoid taking this drug with other antihistamines or alcohol. Pregnant women or those who may become pregnant should avoid using this medication and consult a physician if necessary. Women who are breastfeeding should also avoid this medication, or if necessary, refrain from breastfeeding while taking it. Due to lack of established safety, caution is advised when using this medication in children. Elderly patients should use caution as diminished kidney function may increase drug concentration. This medication may affect allergy test results, so it is advisable to discontinue use before testing. When taking the medication, remove it from its packaging and avoid swallowing the packaging. Store the medication in a tightly closed container to prevent exposure to air and moisture, and keep it in a cool, dry place out of the reach of children.
