Precautions

This medication should not be used by patients with moderate to severe impairment of liver or kidney function, as safety and efficacy have not been sufficiently established. Patients with hypersensitivity to this drug or its components, or to benzimidazole derivatives, should not be administered this medication due to the potential for serious allergic reactions. Additionally, this medication cannot be used in conjunction with specific antiviral drugs, Atazanavir and Nelfinavir, and concomitant administration should be avoided. It is safe to avoid this medication in women during early pregnancy or those who may become pregnant, and in nursing mothers. Patients taking medications that contain Rilpivirine should also not combine them with this medication. Regular monitoring is required during long-term use of this medication, particularly periodic liver function tests should be conducted. Dosage adjustments should be made for elderly patients or those with impaired kidney function, and overdose should be avoided. This medication reduces gastric acid secretion, which may increase bacterial growth in the gastrointestinal tract and rarely raises the risk of diarrhea or infection, so if symptoms of diarrhea persist, medical consultation is necessary. Caution should be exercised when driving or operating machinery as dizziness or visual disturbances may occur during the course of taking the medication. Long-term high-dose use may increase the risk of fractures, so patients at risk of fractures should exercise caution. This medication may interact with other drugs, thus it is essential to inform healthcare providers of all medications being taken, especially when combining with anticoagulants, antiviral drugs, or immunosuppressants. Avoid use during pregnancy or lactation unless necessary, and consult healthcare professionals if needed. It is recommended not to use this medication in children as safety and efficacy have not been established. In case of overdose, there is no specific antidote available, and appropriate treatment should be received based on symptoms, and the medication should be taken whole without chewing or crushing. Careful consideration of benefits and risks is crucial for long-term administration, with use of the minimum effective dose for the appropriate duration. This medication should be kept out of reach of children, and attention should be paid to temperature and humidity during storage.
