As drowsiness may occur, caution should be taken when driving or operating dangerous machinery. Patients undergoing long-term steroid therapy should adjust their steroid dosage gradually when taking this medication. Patients with impaired kidney function may have increased blood concentration of this medication, so it is important to start with a lower dose and monitor the condition closely.
