Precautions

This medication should not be used by patients with allergies to specific components or with genetic disorders that affect lactose digestion. It should be used cautiously in patients with thromboembolic disorders or consumptive coagulopathy, those with severe issues in major organs like the liver or kidneys, and patients with a history of drug allergies. This medication contains Yellow No. 4 dye, so individuals allergic to this component should also exercise caution. Gastrointestinal symptoms such as belching, abdominal bloating, dyspepsia, nausea, and vomiting may occur during use, and liver function test values may temporarily increase. There has not been sufficient research on its use in patients with peptic ulcers, gastroesophageal reflux disease, gastritis due to non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, or those who have undergone gastric resection, so caution is advised. This medication is usually administered for about 2 weeks, and if symptoms do not improve, treatment should be discontinued and a doctor or pharmacist consulted. Pregnant women or women who may become pregnant, as well as nursing mothers, should only use this medication when absolutely necessary as its safety has not been established. The safety and efficacy in newborns, infants, children, and adolescents have not been confirmed, and use in these populations is not recommended. Elderly patients aged 75 and older may experience adverse reactions more readily, so careful monitoring is necessary during treatment. This medication should be stored out of reach of children and kept in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Moreover, transferring the medication to another container may adversely affect its quality.
