Precautions

This medicine contains lactose, so it should not be used in patients with genetic issues such as galactose intolerance, lactase deficiency, and glucose-galactose malabsorption. During the use of this medicine, side effects such as diarrhea or loose stools, dry mouth, and lethargy may appear. Some patients may experience liver function problems, so if there are abnormalities in liver function tests, the medication should be stopped immediately. Rarely, allergic reactions such as skin rash, urticaria, and swelling may occur, and gastrointestinal symptoms such as abdominal bloating, nausea, vomiting, and altered taste may arise. Symptoms related to the nervous system, such as rapid heartbeat, dizziness, headache, and tremors, have also been reported, so caution is necessary. If gastrointestinal symptoms do not improve after taking the medication consistently for more than 2 weeks, long-term use should be avoided. The effectiveness of this medication may be reduced when taken with anticholinergics, so caution should be exercised regarding the dosing intervals when using both medications together. Women who are pregnant or potentially pregnant should carefully consider the benefits and risks of using this medication, and for those who are breastfeeding, the medication may be passed to breast milk, so administration should be avoided if possible or breastfeeding should be discontinued. The safety in children has not been established, so it is advisable not to use this medication in children. Elderly patients may have reduced kidney and liver function, so their condition should be closely monitored, and the dose should be reduced if necessary. This medication should be stored out of reach of children and should not be transferred to another container for safety. Animal tests have shown that long-term high-dose administration of this medication can increase the risk of tumor formation in the liver and thyroid, so caution is needed during long-term use.
