Precautions

This drug may cause a sudden worsening of hepatitis if treatment is interrupted; therefore, patients who stop treatment should undergo regular check-ups at the hospital for several months. Patients with hypersensitivity to this drug or specific genetic lactose metabolism disorders should not take it. This drug should not be used in conjunction with other tenofovir-containing drugs or adefovir. Patients with impaired kidney function should have kidney function tests before taking this drug and undergo regular testing during treatment. Caution is especially needed when taking other medications that may burden the kidneys. This drug may lower bone density, so patients at risk of osteoporosis should assess their bone health condition. If persistent pain in bones or muscles occurs, consult a healthcare professional immediately. Patients with a history of allergies should be cautious about the pigment ingredients in this drug. Common side effects include headache, diarrhea, nausea, fatigue, and rash; if symptoms are severe, consult a doctor. This drug is reportedly relatively safe during pregnancy; however, pregnant women must consult with a healthcare professional before taking it. Breastfeeding mothers are advised to avoid breastfeeding while taking this drug, as it may pass through breast milk to the baby. Safety and efficacy in children under 12 years of age or weighing less than 35 kg have not been established. Elderly patients may have decreased kidney and liver function, so caution is needed when taking it. In case of overdose, seek medical attention immediately; this drug can be partially removed via hemodialysis. Store this drug at room temperature and keep it out of reach of children. Additionally, during treatment, there may be interactions with other medications, so especially when used with didanosine, HIV protease inhibitors, hepatitis C treatments, and medications affecting the kidneys, it is essential to follow the healthcare professional's instructions.
