Precautions

This medication should not be used by patients who are allergic to R-tioktsan Torometamin Salt, thioctacid, or any excipients contained in this medication. While taking this medication, side effects such as sensory disturbances, pain, headaches, constipation, abdominal discomfort, dry mouth, cough, cystitis, diarrhea, and burning sensation may occur. Serious side effects such as kidney stones or facial swelling may rarely occur, so immediate consultation with medical professionals should be sought if symptoms are severe. Additionally, gastrointestinal symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, stomach pain, and diarrhea may occur, and allergic reactions such as skin rashes, hives, and itching may rarely occur. This drug lowers blood sugar levels and may cause hypoglycemic symptoms, so attention should be paid to symptoms such as dizziness, sweating, headaches, and vision disturbances. In cases of frequent alcohol consumption, nerve damage may worsen, so diabetic neuropathy patients are advised to avoid alcohol as much as possible, including during periods of drug withdrawal. This medication may form complexes with certain metal compounds or milk, which may hinder absorption, so it should be taken with time intervals between doses. When used together with insulin or oral diabetes medications, blood sugar levels may drop too low, so blood sugar levels should be monitored frequently and medication dosages adjusted as necessary. During pregnancy or breastfeeding, the effects of this medication on the fetus or newborn are not fully known, so it should be taken with caution under medical supervision. It is recommended not to use in children under 18 years as safety and efficacy have not been established. In case of overdose of this medication, severe symptoms such as loss of consciousness, generalized seizures, hypoglycemia, and shock may occur, necessitating immediate emergency medical treatment. This medication should be stored at temperatures not exceeding 30 degrees Celsius, and kept in a secure place out of the reach of children, with storage in its original container being important for quality maintenance.
