This medication should not be used in patients who are allergic to certain components, pregnant women, or babies under 1 year old. Patients with severely impaired liver or kidney function should be particularly cautious when using this medication. While taking this medication, side effects such as abdominal pain, elevated liver enzymes, drowsiness, and nausea may occur, so report any unusual symptoms immediately. If allergic reactions or symptoms such as cystitis appear, discontinue the medication and seek appropriate treatment. This medication is not a fast-acting drug for acute symptoms, so bronchodilators or corticosteroids may need to be used concurrently during severe symptoms. Patients undergoing long-term steroid treatment should follow their physician's guidance in gradually adjusting the steroid dosage when using this medication. Discontinuing this medication suddenly may worsen the original condition, so caution is advised. If there is no effectiveness, it is recommended not to continue long-term usage. When used in children, a caregiver should closely monitor and supervise. It is advisable to start taking this medication before the allergy season and continue until the season ends. Women who are pregnant or may become pregnant should not take this medication, and breastfeeding is also advised against. Safety for premature infants, newborns, and infants has not been established, so it is safer not to use it. Elderly patients may experience more side effects due to decreased bodily function, so precautions such as reducing dosages or dosing breaks should be taken. This medication can cause precipitation if mixed with other drugs, so it should not be combined with other medications. Store it in a cool, dry place out of reach of children, avoiding high temperatures or direct sunlight, and it's advisable to not use longer than 3 weeks after preparation. Additionally, to maintain quality, do not transfer to another container.
