The zinc component in this medication can interfere with the absorption of copper, so appropriate treatment is necessary if symptoms of copper deficiency appear. Due to hypersensitivity reactions, rashes, itching, and hives may occur, so if these symptoms appear, medication should be stopped immediately. Gastrointestinal symptoms such as nausea, constipation, abdominal distension, vomiting, heartburn, and diarrhea have been reported, and if symptoms are severe, a physician should be consulted. While taking this medication, changes in blood cell counts may rarely occur, so testing should be done if any abnormal symptoms appear. When taken with other medications, effectiveness may be reduced, so caution should be taken especially to avoid taking it simultaneously with penicillamine or levothyroxine sodium. Women who are pregnant or may become pregnant should only use this medication if the benefits of treatment are considered to outweigh the risks. During breastfeeding, it is advisable to avoid taking this medication as it may be transmitted through breast milk.
