This medication should not be used by individuals who have allergies to this medication or its components or have had hypersensitivity reactions. This medication may be harmful to patients with gastrointestinal issues such as gastrointestinal bleeding, mechanical obstruction, or perforation, so it should not be administered. Additionally, this medication contains lactose, so patients with genetically inherited galactose intolerance, lactase deficiency, or glucose-galactose malabsorption should not take it. Serious allergic reactions such as shock or anaphylaxis may occur during the medication, so symptoms should be closely monitored. If symptoms such as low blood pressure, respiratory distress, or skin rash appear, the medication should be discontinued immediately, and medical assistance should be sought. Liver dysfunction or jaundice symptoms may also occur, so liver condition should be monitored carefully, and if abnormal signs are observed, the medication should be discontinued, and appropriate treatment should be received. Gastrointestinal symptoms may include nausea, diarrhea, constipation, abdominal pain, and increased salivation. Central nervous system effects may include headaches, anxiety, sleep disturbances, and dizziness. Endocrine abnormalities such as gynecomastia or elevated prolactin levels may also occur, so if any abnormal symptoms appear, a consultation with a healthcare professional is necessary. Blood tests may show thrombocytopenia or leukopenia, so regular testing is required, and kidney function tests are also recommended. Rarely, hypersensitivity reactions such as skin rash, itching, or erythema may occur, so the skin condition should be monitored closely. Additionally, symptoms such as tremors, chest and back pain, and fatigue have also been reported, so these symptoms should be reported to medical personnel if they occur. This medication enhances the action of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine, so this should be considered during use, and it is advisable not to use it for long periods if gastrointestinal symptoms do not improve. If taken with anticholinergics, the effect of this medication may be reduced, so the dosage interval should be adjusted or used with caution. Pregnant women or those who could become pregnant should take this medication only if the benefits of treatment outweigh the risks, as its safety has not been established. During breastfeeding, this medication may be excreted in breast milk, so it should be avoided if possible. If it must be taken, it is advisable to stop breastfeeding. The safety for pediatric use has not been sufficiently confirmed, so caution should be exercised when administering to children. Elderly people may experience adverse reactions more easily due to reduced bodily functions, so dosage should be adjusted or administration temporarily discontinued while closely monitoring symptoms. Finally, this medication should be kept out of reach of children, and transferring it to other containers should be avoided, as it may lead to accidents or affect the quality of the medication.
