Precautions

This medication should not be used by patients who have hypersensitivity to its components. Patients with kidney or liver dysfunction or older patients should use this medication with caution.

Possible side effects may also include changes in blood counts, elevated liver enzymes, and skin rash. Drowsiness may occur while taking this medication, so caution is advised when driving or operating dangerous machinery. Patients with impaired kidney function may have increased blood concentrations of this drug, so starting with a lower dose and careful monitoring of their condition is recommended. For patients with seasonal allergic rhinitis, it is advised to consult a specialist before using this medication, and it should not be used long-term if it proves ineffective. Like other antihistamines, taking it with alcohol may exacerbate side effects, so it should be avoided. Women who are pregnant or may become pregnant are advised against using this medication; if necessary, it should be used cautiously under a physician's judgment. Nursing mothers should avoid this medication, as it may affect the baby, and if absolutely necessary, breastfeeding should be discontinued. The safety of this medication in children has not been adequately confirmed, so its use is not recommended in this age group. Elderly patients should take care when using this medication due to the risk of increased drug concentration caused by declining kidney function. This medication may affect allergy test results, so it is advisable to discontinue it before testing. When taking this medication, it should be removed from its packaging for dosing, and caution should be taken not to swallow the packaging whole.
