This medication should not be used in patients who have had allergic reactions to this drug or its components. It should also not be administered to patients for whom stimulating gastrointestinal movement may be harmful, such as those with gastrointestinal bleeding, mechanical bowel obstruction, or perforation. This drug contains lactose, so patients with lactose intolerance or certain genetic metabolic disorders should not take it. When using this drug, care should be taken to monitor for serious allergic reactions such as shock or anaphylaxis. Since there may be abnormalities in liver function, regular checking of liver function test results should be performed, and treatment should be discontinued immediately if abnormalities are found. Gastrointestinal symptoms such as nausea, diarrhea, constipation, and abdominal pain may occur, and neurological symptoms such as headache, anxiety, sleep disturbances, and dizziness may also be experienced. Symptoms related to gynecomastia or hormonal changes may occur, so if such symptoms arise, consultation with a physician is necessary. Regular blood tests are required as platelet or white blood cell counts may decrease. This drug may affect kidney function, so blood levels of BUN or creatinine may rise; caution should be exercised. Rarely, hypersensitivity reactions such as skin rash or itching may occur, and usage should be discontinued immediately if these symptoms occur. Other symptoms such as tremors, chest pain, and fatigue have also been reported, so if symptoms persist, medical advice should be sought. Since this drug enhances acetylcholine action, this point should be considered in use, and it is advisable not to use it for extended periods if gastrointestinal symptoms do not improve. When taken with anticholinergics, this medication's effectiveness may be reduced, so intervals between doses should be adjusted and caution should be exercised. Pregnant women or those who may become pregnant should only use this medication when the benefits of treatment outweigh the risks, as its safety has not been established. If breastfeeding, it is advisable to discontinue use when necessary, as this medication may be excreted in breast milk. Safety in children has not been sufficiently confirmed, so caution should be exercised when using it in pediatric patients. Elderly patients may experience more pronounced adverse reactions due to decreased bodily function, so dosage should be adjusted, and symptoms should be closely monitored.
