This medicine should not be used by patients who are allergic to certain components. This medication contains lactose; therefore, patients with genetic conditions that prevent lactose breakdown should avoid it. Patients who are allergic to soybean oil, soy, or peanuts should also refrain from using this drug. Patients with a history of drug allergy should use this medication with caution, and those with impaired liver or kidney function need to be cautious as well. Patients undergoing dialysis, elderly individuals, or those with hyperlipidemia or lipid metabolism disorders should also take this drug carefully. Since this medicine can cause severe allergic reactions, if symptoms such as facial pallor, decreased blood pressure, or difficulty breathing appear, stop taking it immediately and go to the hospital. Liver function may worsen, and symptoms of jaundice may appear, so liver condition should be monitored regularly. There may be side effects such as decreased blood cell counts; if symptoms such as pharyngitis, general fatigue, or fever occur, you must inform a hospital. Rarely, serious side effects like skin rashes, seizures, or heart problems may appear, so if any abnormal symptoms occur, consult healthcare professionals immediately. Gastrointestinal symptoms may include constipation, diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, and abdominal distension. Central nervous system symptoms have been reported to include headaches, insomnia, drowsiness, hallucinations, and consciousness disorders. In the cardiovascular system, symptoms such as chills, heat sensation, and facial flushing may appear. Changes in leukocyte or platelet counts may occur in blood tests, so regular testing is necessary. Liver function test results may elevate, and renal dysfunction may also be observed. While taking this medication, symptoms of malignancy may be masked, so if there are symptoms such as weight loss, repetitive vomiting, or vomiting blood, tests must be done. If gastric cancer is suspected, accurate diagnosis should be made through endoscopy and consumption of this drug should be discontinued if confirmed malignant. Treatment progress should be monitored carefully, and it should not be used for longer than necessary. Blood, liver, and kidney functions should be checked periodically. Patients at risk of lipid overload should monitor their blood lipid levels and adjust the dosage if necessary. The elderly may have decreased physical function, so dosage and administration intervals should be adjusted, and their condition should be observed closely. Dialysis patients should start cautiously from a low dose as drug concentration may increase. Pregnant women should use it only when deemed necessary by a doctor, and nursing mothers are advised against using it since this drug can be excreted in breast milk.
