Children under 1 year, patients currently undergoing treatment by a physician, and children who are exposed to sunlight and are on a normal diet should consult a healthcare professional before taking this medication. It is crucial for pregnant women or those who may become pregnant, as well as nursing mothers, to consult with a specialist before taking this medication as Vitamin D can be transmitted through breast milk, potentially causing hypercalcemia in the infant. Patients with gastrointestinal diseases such as peptic ulcers or chronic ulcerative colitis, restricted colitis, and those with heart or circulatory issues, kidney disorders, hypoproteinemia, or a history of kidney stones should also consult a physician before taking it. If symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, red spots, irregular heartbeat, central nervous system disturbances, dermatitis, bad odors during sweating or breathing, hair loss, agitation, gastrointestinal disturbances, upper abdominal pain, low blood pressure, or pulmonary edema occur while taking this medication, discontinue use immediately and consult a healthcare professional. Long-term high-dose intake of pyridoxine may lead to issues in the nervous system, requiring caution. Moreover, patients who are deficient in folic acid may show abnormal blood reactions when taking high doses of Vitamin B12. High-dose intake may exacerbate peptic ulcers, cause glucose intolerance, hyperuricemia, or liver damage. Symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, hypernatremia, congestive heart failure, or edema may occur with excessive intake, so caution is needed. In particular, caution is warranted when used with aldosterone antagonists or triamterene as there may be a risk of elevated potassium levels. If overdosed or if symptoms do not improve after about a month of use, consult a healthcare professional. This medication must be taken according to the prescribed dosage and regimen, and parental supervision is needed when administered to children.
