Precautions

This drug should not be used in patients with hypersensitivity to its components. Caution should be exercised when administering to patients with poor renal or liver function, as well as elderly patients. Some patients who took this drug in clinical trials may experience CNS symptoms such as drowsiness, headache, dizziness, or gastrointestinal adverse reactions such as vomiting or diarrhea. There have also been reports of hypersensitivity reactions, including changes in blood counts, elevated liver function tests, and skin rashes. Drowsiness may occur during the use of this medication, so caution should be taken with activities that require alertness, such as driving or operating machinery. For patients with impaired kidney function, the drug's blood concentration may increase, so treatment should be started at a lower dose while monitoring the condition. For patients who have been under long-term steroid treatment, it is necessary to taper the steroid dosage gradually when taking this drug. This medication has not been sufficiently studied for seasonal allergic rhinitis, so it is advisable to consider seasonal characteristics when administering it. If no effect is observed, long-term use is not recommended. Like other antihistamines, it should not be taken with excessive alcohol. Women who are pregnant or may become pregnant are advised not to take this medication, and if unavoidable, they should consult a doctor before use. Breastfeeding women are also recommended to avoid taking this medication while breastfeeding. Safety for pediatric use has not been established, so it should be used with caution in children. Elderly patients should be carefully administered due to the risk of increased drug concentration from decreased kidney function. This drug may affect allergy tests, so it is advisable to avoid taking it before undergoing skin prick tests. When taking, the tablet should be removed from the packaging, and care should be taken not to swallow it whole.
