This medication can rarely cause serious skin reactions such as Stevens-Johnson syndrome, toxic epidermal necrolysis, and acute generalized exanthematous pustulosis. If blistering or progressive skin rash with mucosal damage occurs, discontinue use immediately. Patients allergic to this medication or macrolide antibiotics should not take it. Patients taking specific medications such as terfenadine, astemizole, cisapride, or pizotifen, as well as those on ergot alkaloids or mizolastine, should not use this medication. Caution is advised for patients with poor liver function or the elderly as this medication should be used cautiously, especially when used with other antibiotics due to the risk of drug resistance. This drug can prolong the QT interval of the heart's electrical conduction; therefore, patients with congenital long QT syndrome or those at risk of arrhythmias should be careful. Patients with myasthenia gravis should be aware that this medication may worsen symptoms. This drug can rarely cause severe allergic reactions such as anaphylactic shock, so if any unusual symptoms occur during treatment, discontinue and seek medical attention. Symptoms like fever, rash, blood abnormalities, liver function abnormalities, gastrointestinal discomfort, diarrhea, shortness of breath, and neurological symptoms can occur, so consult a doctor if these symptoms arise. In particular, if severe diarrhea or abdominal pain occurs, it may indicate a serious intestinal condition like pseudomembranous colitis, and use should be discontinued immediately. This medication can increase the blood levels of other drugs metabolized by the liver, raising the risk of side effects such as cardiac arrhythmias, so it should not be used in conjunction with certain drugs. Additionally, caution is necessary when used with anticoagulants like warfarin, as it may increase the risk of bleeding. Women who are pregnant or may become pregnant should carefully consider the effects on the fetus when using this drug, and nursing mothers should avoid administration or discontinue breastfeeding. This medication can cause dizziness or blurred vision, so caution is advised when driving or operating machinery.
