Precautions

This medication should not be used by patients allergic to specific components. Additionally, it contains lactose, so patients with conditions such as galactose intolerance, Lapp lactase deficiency, or glucose-galactose malabsorption syndrome should also avoid it. Patients with kidney or liver dysfunction, as well as elderly individuals, should exercise caution when using this medication. Adverse effects that may occur from taking this medication include drowsiness, headache, dizziness, dry mouth, digestive discomfort, diarrhea, and skin rash. As drowsiness may be induced, attention should be paid when driving or operating dangerous machinery. Patients who have been receiving long-term steroid treatment should adjust the steroid dosage gradually when starting this medication. Patients with reduced kidney function may have increased drug concentrations in the blood, so it is advisable to start with a low dose and monitor their condition closely. For patients with seasonal allergic rhinitis, it is suggested to start this medication at an appropriate time considering the season, and not to continue long-term if it proves ineffective. Taking this medication with other antihistamines or alcohol may worsen side effects, so it is advisable not to combine them. Women who are pregnant or may become pregnant should carefully consider the risks and benefits before taking this medication, and nursing mothers should preferably avoid taking it or discontinue breastfeeding if possible. This medication is not recommended for children as safety has not been sufficiently confirmed. Elderly patients should take care to use this medication due to the risk of increased drug concentrations resulting from decreased kidney function. This medication may interfere with allergen skin testing, so it is advisable not to take it before tests. Finally, this medication should be kept out of reach of children and care should be taken not to transfer it to another container, as this may compromise quality.
