As it can mask symptoms of gastric cancer, it is essential to confirm the malignancy of gastric ulcer patients or those over middle age with new or changed dyspeptic symptoms before treatment. Patients with H. pylori infection in gastric and duodenal ulcers should also undergo treatment to eliminate the bacteria.

Patients with swallowing difficulties should be careful after taking this medication, as respiratory complications may occur. This medication can rarely cause severe allergic reactions, such as anaphylactic shock, so if any unusual symptoms arise during administration, treatment should be discontinued immediately. If any allergic symptoms, such as skin rash, hives, breathing difficulties, or low blood pressure, are observed, discontinue use of this medication. Blood tests may reveal leukopenia or thrombocytopenia, so patients must inform their doctor immediately if any symptoms arise and get tested. If signs of liver dysfunction occur, discontinue the medication and seek treatment. Cardiovascular issues, such as arrhythmias or vasculitis, can also occur rarely. Gastrointestinal symptoms may include nausea, vomiting, constipation, diarrhea, or abdominal pain, and stools may appear black, but this typically requires no special treatment. In severe cases or among the elderly, neurological symptoms such as dizziness, drowsiness, confusion, insomnia, or headaches may occur, requiring caution. Muscle pain or joint pain may rarely occur, and in severe instances, discontinuation of the medication should be considered. Skin rashes or hair loss have also been reported as rare side effects. This medication is not recommended for long-term use, and if no therapeutic effect is observed, changing to another medication is advised. Elderly patients or those with chronic diseases may have an increased risk of pneumonia and should be cautious. If symptoms of dizziness or drowsiness occur during administration, avoid driving or operating heavy machinery. This medication may affect the absorption or metabolism of other drugs, so caution is necessary regarding interactions with other medications being taken.

When used with antibiotics or anticonvulsants, it is advisable to maintain a time interval between doses. It is safer not to use this medication during pregnancy or breastfeeding. Safety and efficacy in children have not been established, so avoiding use in this population is preferable. This medication may cause false positive results in urine protein tests, so care should be taken during testing. In case of overdose, emergency treatment such as vomiting or gastric lavage may be necessary, and in some cases, dialysis may be helpful. Finally, this medication reduces gastric acid secretion, which may promote bacterial growth within the gastrointestinal tract, so additional caution, such as eye examinations, may be necessary during long-term use.
