Precautions

This drug contains lactose; therefore, it should not be used in patients with genetic issues such as galactose intolerance, Lapp lactase deficiency, or glucose-galactose malabsorption. Some patients may experience side effects such as liver dysfunction, constipation, rashes, itching, and diarrhea, so they should consult a physician immediately if symptoms occur. Particularly, elderly patients may have reduced body functions, so the dosage should start low and the condition should be closely monitored during administration. Women who are pregnant or may become pregnant should only use this medication if its benefits are deemed greater than the risks, as safety during pregnancy is not established. Additionally, this medication may be partially transmitted through breast milk; thus, breastfeeding women are advised to avoid administration or discontinue breastfeeding while using it. Safety in children has not been sufficiently validated, so it should be used cautiously in pediatric patients. This medication should be kept out of the reach of children, and transferring it to other containers may lead to accidents or quality degradation.
