Safety has not been established for use during pregnancy or breastfeeding, so it should be avoided, and breastfeeding is recommended to be discontinued while taking this medication. Use in children is only recommended for those aged 6 years and older, and elderly patients should start with a lower dose due to the potential for increased drug concentration.
