Additionally, this drug contains lactose, so patients with genetic issues such as galactose intolerance, lactase deficiency, or glucose-galactose malabsorption should not take it. Patients with thrombosis, consumptive coagulopathy, or serious issues with the liver, kidneys, heart, lungs, or blood should use this medication with caution.

This medication contains a dye called Yellow No. 4 (tartrazine), so patients allergic to this component should take it with caution. When taking this drug, gastrointestinal symptoms such as gas retention, abdominal pain, vomiting, diarrhea, and heartburn may occur, and if symptoms become severe, consulting a physician is advised. Rarely, neurological symptoms like headaches, dizziness, and fatigue may also occur. Various adverse reactions such as constipation, cough, hypertension, myalgia, and insomnia have been reported in clinical trials and post-marketing surveys; thus, if these symptoms persist, consulting a healthcare professional is recommended. There has been insufficient research on this medication for patients with a history of peptic ulcers, gastroesophageal reflux disease, or gastric resection, so it should be used cautiously. If symptoms do not improve after more than 2 weeks of use, it is advisable to stop taking the medication and consult a specialist. There have been no studies on interactions between this medication and others, so it is essential to inform a doctor or pharmacist when starting new medications.

For breastfeeding mothers, it is preferable to take this medication only when the benefits outweigh the risks. The safety and efficacy for newborns, infants, children, and adolescents have not been confirmed, so its use is not recommended. Elderly patients aged 75 and older may experience more severe adverse reactions, so their condition should be closely monitored during use.
