This medication contains the ingredient R-Alpha Lipoic Acid, and individuals with allergies to this ingredient or any excipients in this medication should not take it. Additionally, this medication includes a coloring agent known as Tartrazine, so patients who are hypersensitive to this dye or have a history of allergies should use it with caution. When taking this medication, various side effects such as sensory disturbances, pain, headaches, constipation, dry mouth, and cough may occur, and there have been rare reports of severe adverse reactions such as nephrolithiasis. In particular, adverse reactions may occur in patients with diabetic neuropathy, so if symptoms worsen or discomfort persists, consult a physician. Frequent alcohol consumption may reduce the therapeutic effectiveness of this medication; therefore, diabetic polyneuropathy patients are advised to avoid alcohol as much as possible. This medication may be poorly absorbed if taken with certain metal-containing preparations or milk, so iron or magnesium supplements should be taken at intervals away from this medication. Furthermore, taking this medication with other diabetes medications that lower blood sugar can potentially lead to excessively low blood sugar, so blood sugar levels should be monitored regularly, and dosage adjustments should be made as necessary. Pregnant or breastfeeding women should take this medication under a physician's guidance after considering the benefits and risks, and it is safest for children under 18 to avoid its use due to a lack of experience in this age group. In case of suspected overdose, severe toxicity symptoms and life-threatening conditions may occur; therefore, immediate medical attention should be sought. Finally, this medication should not be stored at temperatures above 30 degrees Celsius and must be kept in a safe place out of reach of children.
