This medication should not be used in patients who have had hypersensitivity reactions to any of its components. Rarely, severe allergic reactions such as shock or anaphylaxis may occur during treatment, so if symptoms appear, the medication should be discontinued immediately and appropriate treatment should be obtained. It may also cause a decrease in white blood cell or platelet counts, so it is important to regularly check blood tests. There may be liver function issues, so liver-related tests should be conducted, and the medication should be discontinued if any abnormal signs occur. If skin allergic symptoms such as hives, rash, or itching appear, discontinue the medication. Neurological symptoms such as dizziness, drowsiness, or numbness may occur, so caution is required when driving or operating machinery. Gastrointestinal symptoms such as dry mouth, constipation, abdominal distension, diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, heartburn, abdominal pain, belching, taste abnormalities may also occur. Women who are pregnant or may become pregnant should only use this medication when the benefit of treatment outweighs the risk, as its safety during pregnancy has not been fully established. Lactating women should avoid this medication since it can be transmitted through breast milk. Safety in children, especially in neonates or low birth weight infants, has not been fully established, so caution is necessary. Elderly patients may have decreased bodily functions, so they should be more vigilant for any adverse gastrointestinal reactions and other abnormal responses. Keep this medication out of reach of children and ensure it is stored in a secure place; transferring it to another container may lead to accidents or a decrease in drug quality.
