This medication should not be used with antibiotics in patients with moderate liver or kidney dysfunction. Patients who have had allergic reactions to this medication, its ingredients, or similar class drugs should not take it. This medication cannot be used with the specific antiviral agent atazanavir, so patients taking these medications should not use it. It is advisable for women in the first 3 months of pregnancy or who could become pregnant to avoid using this medication. Lactating women should also not use this medication. This medication should not be used by patients taking the specific antiviral agent rilpivirine. Since this medication contains the dye Yellow No. 5, individuals allergic to this component should exercise caution. During treatment, gastrointestinal symptoms such as constipation, diarrhea, heartburn, nausea, and vomiting may occur. General symptoms or neurological disturbances like fatigue, edema, headache, dizziness, and insomnia have also been reported. Rarely, liver dysfunction, allergic reactions, skin rashes, and blood disorders may occur, so if any unusual symptoms arise, consult a healthcare professional immediately. For long-term use (especially over 1 year), it is important to have regular check-ups to monitor liver function and overall health status. If sudden weight loss, severe vomiting, difficulty swallowing, or hematemesis occurs during treatment, it is necessary to check for serious conditions such as cancer. Particularly increased risk of fractures may occur, so caution is needed during long-term high-dose usage. Hypomagnesemia, or decreased magnesium levels in the blood, can rarely occur, necessitating periodic blood tests if used for extended periods or in conjunction with certain medications. This medication interacts with some other drugs, so if taking other medications, be sure to inform your healthcare provider. Dizziness or vision impairment may occur, so caution is advised when driving or operating machinery. It may be risky during pregnancy or lactation, so consult a medical professional before use.
