Precautions

This medicine should not be used in patients who have allergic reactions to certain ingredients. Caution is advised in patients with kidney or liver dysfunction, and in elderly individuals. In clinical trials, symptoms such as drowsiness, headache, dizziness, dry mouth, nausea, and diarrhea have been reported. Adverse effects such as changes in blood counts, increased liver enzymes, abnormal kidney tests, and skin rashes may also occur. Since drowsiness may occur during this medication, it is advisable to avoid driving or operating dangerous machinery. Patients on long-term steroid treatment should gradually reduce their steroid dosage when taking this medication. Patients with reduced kidney function may have increased drug concentration, so starting with a low dose and carefully monitoring their condition is necessary. Patients with seasonal allergic rhinitis should start taking the medication before the onset of symptoms and continue during the symptomatic period. It is advisable not to use the medication long-term if it is not effective. Excessive consumption of alcohol with other antihistamines should be avoided. Women who are pregnant or may become pregnant should preferably avoid this medication and use it only after consulting a doctor if necessary. Lactating women are also advised to avoid breastfeeding during treatment with this medication. Safety for children has not been established, so caution is needed when administering to them. Elderly individuals need to be more prudent as there is a higher risk of increased drug concentration due to reduced kidney function. It is advisable to refrain from taking this medication before allergy testing. When taking the medication, the packaged tablet should be taken out for consumption, and care should be taken not to swallow the packaging.
