Precautions

This medication should not be used in patients who have had allergic reactions to xanthine medications or who have experienced severe side effects in the past. Particular caution should be taken in patients with certain conditions such as peptic ulcers, seizures, severe lung disease, liver or kidney dysfunction, heart failure, alcohol abuse, hypoxia, and abnormal blood pressure. Common side effects while taking this medication may include headache, dizziness, and nausea, and various adverse reactions such as skin rash or itching, digestive disorders, and liver function abnormalities have been reported. In elderly patients, the incidence of side effects may be somewhat higher, so closer monitoring is required. This medication may be influenced by liver and kidney function, so dosage adjustment or careful consideration of administration is needed for patients with impaired function. There may be interactions with various medications, including caffeine, other xanthine compounds, central nervous system stimulants, certain antibiotics, and beta-blockers; therefore, patients should consult a physician or pharmacist if they are taking any other medications. The safety for pregnant or breastfeeding women has not been sufficiently confirmed, so it should only be administered under the guidance of a physician when absolutely necessary. Safety and efficacy in children or adolescents under 18 years of age have not been established, so it is advisable to avoid use in these groups. In case of overdose, serious symptoms such as vomiting, headache, anxiety, and arrhythmias may occur, and immediate medical attention should be sought. This medication should be kept out of the reach of children and should not be transferred to containers other than the original packaging.
