Precautions

This medication should not be used in patients with certain tumors such as adrenal tumors or pheochromocytoma. Additionally, people who have allergic reactions to this medicine's components should avoid taking it. Patients with a history of peptic ulcers or current active ulcers, asthma patients, and those taking antihistamines should use this medication with caution. This medication may cause gastrointestinal symptoms such as dyspepsia, diarrhea, loss of appetite, abdominal bloating, nausea, vomiting, and stomach pain. Other reported symptoms include headache, itching, skin rash, urticaria, palpitations, agitation, chest pain, sweating, and temporary erythematous rashes. Caution is needed as the effectiveness of this medication may be reduced when taken with antihistamines. Pregnant women or those who could become pregnant should only take this medication if the benefits of treatment outweigh the risks, as its safety has not been sufficiently established. The safety of this medication has not been adequately proven in children, so caution is warranted. Elderly individuals may have reduced bodily functions and require special care such as a dosage reduction. In case of overdose, symptoms such as dry mouth, abdominal pain, drowsiness, and nausea may occur, and in severe cases, seizures may happen; however, most symptoms fully resolve. General supportive measures should be taken in cases of overdose. Finally, this medication should be kept out of reach of children, stored away from direct sunlight and moisture, and transferring it to another container should be avoided to prevent accidents.
