Precautions

This medication should not be used in patients with hypersensitivity to its ingredients. Particular caution should be exercised in patients with renal or hepatic impairment, as well as elderly patients. Side effects such as drowsiness, headache, dizziness, vomiting, diarrhea, and skin rash may occur; consult a doctor immediately if any unusual symptoms arise. Since drowsiness may be induced, it is advisable to avoid driving a vehicle or operating dangerous machinery while taking this medication. For patients undergoing long-term steroid treatment, the steroid dose should be gradually adjusted when taking this medication, and patients with diminished renal function should start at a low dose while closely monitoring their condition. Caution is necessary when using in patients with seasonal allergic rhinitis, and if there is no effect, long-term use should be avoided. It is preferable not to take this drug along with other antihistamines or alcohol. Women who are pregnant, may become pregnant, or are breastfeeding should avoid using this drug unless necessary, in which case a doctor should be consulted for careful consideration. Its safety has not been established in children, so it should be avoided in this population. This drug is primarily excreted through the kidneys, thus there is a risk of increased concentration in the blood of elderly patients, so it should be used with caution. Taking this medication prior to an allergy test may affect the results, so it is advisable not to take it before testing. When taking the tablet, it should be removed from the packaging and swallowed entirely, ensuring not to swallow the packaging itself. Store this medication out of reach of children, avoid moisture, and keep it at a temperature below 30 degrees Celsius.
