Precautions

This medication should not be used in patients who have had hypersensitivity reactions to this drug or its components. Additionally, it should not be administered to patients currently taking certain antiviral agents such as atazanavir, nelfinavir, or rilpivirine. Patients with impaired liver function or decreased kidney function should use this drug with caution as metabolism and excretion of the medication may be delayed, leading to elevated blood concentrations. Elderly patients may have reduced physiological functions, requiring careful use. Gastrointestinal symptoms such as constipation, diarrhea, abdominal bloating, and nausea may occur while taking this medication, and rarely, hypersensitivity reactions such as rashes or signs of liver dysfunction may occur. If any adverse reactions occur, consult a doctor immediately and discontinue the medication if necessary. Since abnormal liver function has been reported, regular liver function tests are necessary, and it's important to discontinue use immediately if any signs of liver damage appear. It is important to regularly monitor the condition through endoscopy or other evaluations if this medication is taken for a prolonged period. Patients with a history of gastric ulcers or duodenal ulcers should confirm their medical history before using this drug and should use it only if maintenance therapy is required. This medication inhibits gastric acid secretion and can affect the absorption of other medications, so caution is needed as effects may be reduced or side effects may increase when used in combination with certain drugs. Long-term or high-dose use may increase the risk of osteoporotic fractures, so it's advisable to check bone health. Pregnant or breastfeeding individuals should ideally not use this medication unless in special circumstances since safety has not been established; breastfeeding should be discontinued if the drug is taken while nursing. The safety in children or newborns has not been established, so its use should be avoided in these populations. Finally, this medication should be taken directly from the packaged sheet, ensuring that the sheet itself is not swallowed, as it may damage the esophagus and cause serious complications.
