Precautions

This medication contains R-Tocotrienol Methamin Salt, and should not be administered to patients who are allergic to this ingredient or related excipients. Some patients may experience side effects such as sensory abnormalities, pain, headaches, constipation, and dry mouth while taking this medication, and in some cases, serious adverse reactions like nephrolithiasis may occur. Additionally, this medication is primarily used for patients with diabetic neuropathy, and habitual alcohol consumption may exacerbate neurological symptoms, so it is advisable to avoid alcohol intake. This medication may interfere with the absorption of metals like iron and magnesium, so it is advisable not to take it with such supplements or calcium-containing foods like milk. When used with insulin or other diabetes medications, there may be an increased hypoglycemic effect; hence, blood sugar levels should be monitored frequently to adjust medication dosage as necessary. Women who are pregnant or breastfeeding should consult a healthcare professional to determine the appropriateness of using this medication, as its effects on the fetus or infant are not clearly established. The safety and efficacy of this medication have not been sufficiently studied in children under 18 years, hence their use is not advised. In case of overdose, serious poisoning symptoms may occur, and immediate medical attention should be sought. This medication should be stored at temperatures above 30 degrees Celsius, as high temperatures may degrade quality. It should be kept in a cool, dry place out of reach of children. Furthermore, transferring this medication to another container may pose risks of accidents and deterioration of quality, so it should always be stored in its original container.
