This medication should not be taken with alcohol, and it is advisable for women who are pregnant or may become pregnant to avoid it except in special circumstances. Breastfeeding women should avoid breastfeeding if they take this medication. Safety in children has not been sufficiently confirmed, so it should be used with caution. Elderly patients need to be careful due to the risk of increased drug concentration because of reduced kidney function.
