If allergic reactions such as skin rashes, urticaria, swelling of the face or extremities, or severe itching occur during use, discontinue immediately and consult a healthcare professional. This medication may cause symptoms such as drowsiness, headache, dizziness, and insomnia, so caution is required when operating machinery or driving. Gastrointestinal disturbances such as nausea, abdominal pain, diarrhea, and constipation may occur, and if symptoms are severe, consult a physician.
