This medication may affect liver function, so if symptoms of liver dysfunction or jaundice occur, discontinue use immediately and consult a physician. As it contains zinc, it may cause copper deficiency; thus, patients with poor nutritional status should receive appropriate treatment if symptoms of anemia or blood abnormalities appear. Hypersensitive reactions such as skin rash, itching, and urticaria may occur, so if these symptoms appear, discontinue use and consult a specialist. During the use of this medication, gastrointestinal symptoms such as constipation, nausea, abdominal bloating, vomiting, heartburn, or diarrhea may occur, so it is important to monitor for these symptoms. In domestic clinical trials and post-marketing studies, nausea and dyspepsia have been reported as the most common side effects, and rarely, severe adverse reactions such as cerebral infarction, seizures, and bleeding may also occur, so if any unusual symptoms occur, consult medical personnel immediately. Caution is required when taking this medication with other drugs, as the effectiveness may be reduced, especially when used concurrently with penicillamine or levothyroxine sodium. Pregnant women or those who could become pregnant should only use this medication when the benefits of treatment outweigh the risks, as its safety has not been established. If breastfeeding, it is advisable to avoid it as the drug may be transmitted through breast milk. Safety in children has not been confirmed, so it is preferable not to use it in pediatric patients. In elderly patients, gastrointestinal function may decline, so doses should be reduced and the patient's condition should be closely monitored.
