It should not be administered to patients with hypersensitivity to this medication or those with severe kidney failure (a condition with severely reduced kidney function) or severe liver failure (a condition with severely impaired liver function). In such cases, the drug can accumulate in the body, increasing the risk of side effects. Women who are pregnant, possibly pregnant, or breastfeeding should not take this medication due to the potential harm it may cause to the fetus or newborn. It is advisable not to use this medication in children or teenagers under 18 years of age, as well as in elderly individuals over 65, since its safety and effectiveness have not been sufficiently confirmed. Especially in the elderly, there is a risk of drug accumulation due to decreased kidney function. Patients with kidney stones should use caution when taking high doses of this medication, as it may increase calcium deposits in the kidneys.
