Precautions

This medication should not be used by individuals who are allergic to its components. Patients with impaired renal or hepatic function, as well as elderly individuals, should use this medication with caution. In clinical trials, some individuals taking this medication reported central nervous system symptoms such as drowsiness, headache, and dizziness, along with gastrointestinal symptoms such as vomiting and diarrhea. Blood counts or liver function tests may be altered, and rare allergic reactions such as skin rash or edema may occur. Since drowsiness can occur with this medication, caution should be exercised when driving or operating hazardous machinery. Patients who have been receiving long-term steroid therapy should taper the steroid dosage slowly when taking this medication. Patients with renal impairment may have elevated blood concentrations of this medication, so starting with a low dose and careful monitoring is recommended. For patients with seasonal allergic rhinitis, there is limited experience using this medication, and it is advisable to consider the season when starting and stopping therapy. If no effect is observed, it is preferable not to continue long-term use. Avoid excessive alcohol consumption while taking this medication in conjunction with other antihistamines. Pregnant women or those who may become pregnant should avoid using this medication, and consult a physician if absolutely necessary. Breastfeeding women are also advised to avoid this medication, and if it must be used, discontinuation of breastfeeding is recommended. Safety for children has not been adequately established, so caution is needed. Elderly individuals should use this medication with caution due to the potential for prolonged drug action because of decreased renal function. This medication may affect allergy test results; therefore, it is recommended to discontinue use before testing. This medication should be taken out of the packaging for use, and care should be taken to avoid swallowing the packaging. Finally, this medication should be stored out of the reach of children and kept in a cool, dry place at temperatures below 30 degrees Celsius.
