During treatment, side effects such as liver dysfunction, constipation, rash, itching, and diarrhea may occur, so caution is required. If liver enzyme levels rise or a skin rash develops, discontinue the medication and consult a doctor. Dizziness, drowsiness, abdominal bloating, loss of appetite, dry mouth, and changes in blood test values have rarely been reported, so inform medical personnel if these symptoms occur. Elderly patients should start at a low dose and closely monitor their condition, as physiological functions may be reduced. Women who are pregnant or may become pregnant should only take this medication if the benefits outweigh the risks, as its safety is not confirmed. Breastfeeding women should preferably avoid this medication as it may pass into breast milk; if unavoidable, breastfeeding should be discontinued. The safety of this medication in children has not been fully established, so it is not recommended for use in children. Store the medication out of reach of children and do not transfer it to other containers for safety.
