Precautions

This medication should not be used in patients with allergic reactions to its ingredients. Caution should be exercised when administering this medication to patients with kidney or liver impairment, and to elderly patients. Clinical trials have reported nervous system symptoms such as drowsiness, headache, dizziness, and gastrointestinal symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea. In addition, hypersensitivity reactions may occur, such as changes in blood counts, elevated liver enzymes, and skin rashes. Drowsiness may occur during the administration of this medication, so caution is required when driving or operating dangerous machinery. Patients who have been on long-term steroid therapy should gradually taper the steroid dose when taking this medication. In patients with impaired kidney function, blood concentration may increase, so treatment should start at a low dose and the condition should be closely monitored. For patients with seasonal allergic rhinitis, it is recommended to start taking this medication before the symptoms appear and to continue until the symptoms resolve. If there is no effect, it is advisable not to continue taking it for a long time. It is recommended not to take this medication with alcohol. Pregnant women or women who may become pregnant, and breastfeeding mothers should avoid taking this medication unless necessary and should consult with a doctor if needed. Safety has not been sufficiently verified in children, thus caution is required. Elderly patients should use this medication carefully due to the risk of increased drug concentration from decreased kidney function. If conducting allergy tests, it is advisable not to take this medication beforehand as it may affect the test results. This medication should be taken out of its packaging for administration, ensuring that the packaging is not swallowed. During storage, keep it out of reach of children, avoid moisture, and store in a cool place below 30 degrees Celsius.
