This medication contains the component alpha-lipoic acid, and patients who are hypersensitive to this ingredient or other excipients contained in the drug should not take it. Moreover, there is no clinical experience with this drug in pediatric and adolescent patients, so it should not be administered to patients in these age groups. Rarely, gastrointestinal adverse reactions such as nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, and diarrhea may occur upon administration. Allergic reactions such as rashes, hives, and itching may occur on the skin, although infrequently. Hypoglycemic symptoms may rarely occur, so caution is required if dizziness, sweating, headache, or visual disturbances are experienced. There have been occasional reports of taste disorders. Frequent consumption of alcohol during the use of this medication may worsen neuropathic symptoms, so it is advisable to avoid it as much as possible. Interactions with other medications may occur, so caution is necessary. In particular, this drug may reduce the effectiveness of cisplatin. Additionally, if taken with formulations containing metallic components such as iron or magnesium, or milk containing calcium, the drug may not be well absorbed in the body, so spacing out the dosing times is advisable. When taken together with insulin or other hypoglycemic agents, the hypoglycemic effect may be increased, thus blood glucose levels should be monitored regularly and drug dosages adjusted if necessary. If pregnant or breastfeeding, the safety of this drug has not been fully established, so careful use after consulting a physician is recommended. In cases of overdose, serious toxicity symptoms may occur, including consciousness disorder, generalized convulsions, hypoglycemia, and multi-organ failure, so immediate medical attention should be sought. During storage, avoid high temperatures above 30 degrees Celsius and keep it in a safe place out of reach of children.
