Patients with hypertension, children, and the elderly should use this medication with caution, particularly children who may develop extrapyramidal symptoms more easily, thus avoiding overdose is essential. This medication can cause endocrine-related adverse reactions such as amenorrhea, galactorrhea, and gynecomastia, and should be discontinued immediately if such symptoms occur. Additionally, extrapyramidal symptoms such as tremors, abnormal tongue movements, and anxiety can occur rarely, and if these occur, the medication should be stopped. Long-term use may lead to involuntary movements around the mouth and digestive symptoms such as dry mouth, heartburn, nausea, diarrhea, and constipation. There may be a risk of developing hypertension or arrhythmia, and in rare cases, a serious condition known as Neuroleptic Malignant Syndrome may occur, characterized by high fever, muscle rigidity, and changes in consciousness, requiring immediate treatment. This medication can cause various side effects including rash, swelling, flushing, malaise, insomnia, drowsiness, dizziness, erectile dysfunction, so it is recommended to consult an expert if these symptoms occur. While taking this medication, it is advisable to avoid activities that require concentration such as driving or operating machinery. This medication can interact with other drugs, especially with anticholinergics, narcotic analgesics, digitalis preparations, certain psychiatric medications, and drugs that prolong the QT interval require caution when used together, and should not be co-administered with drugs that cause electrolyte imbalances. Elderly patients may have decreased kidney function, which can prolong the presence of the drug in the body, so they should use it carefully with adjusted dosage and administration intervals.
