Precautions

This medication should not be used in patients with hypersensitivity to its ingredients. Extra caution is needed for patients with kidney or liver issues, as well as for elderly patients. While taking this medication, symptoms such as drowsiness, headaches, and dizziness may occur, so it is advisable to avoid driving or operating hazardous machinery. Additionally, gastrointestinal symptoms such as vomiting, diarrhea, or dry mouth, and allergic reactions like skin rashes and swelling may occur; if any unusual symptoms arise, consult a physician. Patients on long-term steroid treatment who take this medication should taper their steroid dosage gradually. Patients with impaired kidney function may have increased blood levels of this medication, so they should start at lower doses and be closely monitored. Research on the use of this medication for seasonal allergic rhinitis is limited, so it is advisable to adjust usage according to the season. If there is no effect, it is preferable not to continue long-term use. As with other antihistamines, taking this medication with alcohol may exacerbate side effects, so it should be avoided. Pregnant women or women who may become pregnant are recommended against using this medication unless deemed necessary by a physician. Breastfeeding women should also avoid this medication if possible, and if unavoidable, it is suggested to discontinue breastfeeding. Safety for children has not been sufficiently confirmed, so caution is warranted. Elderly patients should take this medication cautiously due to the risk of increased drug concentration from decreased kidney function. This medication may interfere with allergy test results, so it is advisable not to take it prior to testing. When taking the medication, it should be ingested from the blister pack, ensuring not to swallow the packaging whole. Finally, this medication should be stored out of reach of children, in a cool, dry place at temperatures below 30 degrees Celsius.
