This medication should not be used by those who are allergic to specific ingredients. Additionally, since it contains lactose, those with genetic conditions such as galactose intolerance or lactase deficiency, and glucose-galactose malabsorption should avoid taking it. Caution is required for those with kidney or liver issues, and the elderly should be especially careful when using this medication. Taking this medication may result in neurological symptoms such as drowsiness, headaches, and dizziness, or gastrointestinal symptoms like nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea. Rarely, side effects such as changes in blood counts, elevated liver enzymes, and skin rashes have also been reported. Drowsiness may occur, so it is advisable to avoid driving or operating hazardous machinery while taking this medication. Patients who have been on long-term steroid treatment should adjust the steroid dosage slowly when starting this medication. Those with reduced kidney function may experience increased drug concentrations, so it is recommended to start with a lower dose and monitor the condition carefully. Seasonal allergic rhinitis patients should consider the season and start taking this medication at an appropriate time; if there is no effect, long-term use is not recommended. Caution should be exercised when taking this medication with other antihistamines or alcohol, as side effects may worsen. Women who are pregnant or may become pregnant, as well as breastfeeding women, are advised not to take this medication unless absolutely necessary, and should consult a healthcare professional. The safety of this medication in children has not been fully established, so caution is required for use in pediatric patients. Elderly patients should be careful when taking this medication due to the risk of elevated drug concentrations from decreased kidney function. This medication may affect allergy diagnostic tests, so it is advisable to discontinue use before testing. Finally, keep this medication out of reach of children and do not transfer it to other containers to maintain the quality of the medication.
