This medication should not be used in certain patients. For example, patients who are allergic to this drug or its components or have experienced hypersensitivity reactions should not take it. It is also not safe for patients taking certain antiviral medications (atazanavir, nelfinavir, rilpivirine), women in early pregnancy or of childbearing potential, and nursing mothers. Several side effects may occur with the use of this medication. Gastrointestinal symptoms may include abdominal pain, constipation, abdominal bloating, diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, and dry mouth. Other reported symptoms include fatigue or weakness, fever, swelling, liver function abnormalities, skin rashes, urticaria, joint pain, headaches, dizziness, insomnia, and depression. In severe cases, anaphylactic shock, severe liver damage, acute nephritis, and skin conditions (such as Stevens-Johnson syndrome) may occur, so if any unusual symptoms arise, immediate consultation with healthcare professionals is required. Regular check-ups are necessary when using this medication for a long time. Particularly, when taken for more than a year, the reduction of gastric acidity may cause vitamin B12 absorption issues. Long-term usage may also increase the risk of fractures, so the fracture risk should be considered, especially during high-dose or prolonged use. This medication suppresses gastric acid secretion, which may promote bacterial growth within the gastrointestinal tract. Consequently, there may be a slight increase in the risk of diarrhea or gastrointestinal infections, so it is crucial to inform healthcare professionals if diarrhea persists for a long time. Dizziness or visual disturbances may occur, requiring caution during driving or operating machinery. This medication may interact with other drugs, so if there are any other medications taken concurrently, they should be disclosed to healthcare professionals. Special caution is needed when combined with anticoagulants, certain antiviral medications, and methotrexate. Pregnant or nursing women generally should not use this medication, and if necessary, they should make decisions after thorough consultation with a doctor. Experience is limited regarding the use of this medication in children under 12 years, so it is not recommended. There are no specific symptoms reported for overdose; however, if any unusual symptoms arise, immediate medical attention is essential. This medication should be taken whole without chewing or crushing, and careful consideration of benefits and risks is required for long-term use. Store in a place out of the reach of children and do not transfer to another container.
