This medication should never be administered to patients with complete bile duct obstruction. Also, this medication contains lactose, which may pose risks to patients with genetic issues such as galactose intolerance, Lapp lactase deficiency, or glucose-galactose malabsorption. Patients with chronic active hepatitis, liver cirrhosis, hypokalemia, severe pancreatic diseases, peptic ulcers, or cholelithiasis should exercise special caution when using this medication. During treatment, gastrointestinal symptoms such as diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, constipation, heartburn, and gastric discomfort may occur. Additionally, rare hypersensitivity reactions such as itching or rashes can occur, but typically symptoms diminish when antihistamines are used concurrently. Transient jaundice may appear, but in this case, discontinuing the medication or using jaundice treatments can improve the symptoms. Very rarely, generalized fatigue or dizziness may occur. If symptoms do not improve or if unusual symptoms arise after prolonged use, discontinue immediately and consult a physician or pharmacist. It is important to keep this medication out of the reach of children. Women who are pregnant or may become pregnant should refrain from taking this medication as it may harm the fetus. Lastly, caution is needed when taken concurrently with oral antidiabetic medications, as it may enhance the effect of the diabetes medication.
