This medication may affect liver function, so if there are signs of liver dysfunction or jaundice, the medication should be discontinued immediately and a doctor's care should be sought. The zinc component in this medication may interfere with the absorption of copper, which can lead to copper deficiency. Caution is particularly needed in patients with poor nutritional status as they may experience anemia or cytopenia. In case of hypersensitivity reactions, the medication should be discontinued, and skin symptoms such as rash, itching, or hives should be carefully monitored. Gastrointestinal disturbances may include nausea, abdominal bloating, constipation, vomiting, heartburn, and diarrhea, so if symptoms are severe, consultation with medical personnel is advised. Liver enzyme levels (AST, ALT, etc.) may rise during treatment, thus regular monitoring may be necessary. When taken with other medications, efficacy may be reduced, so care should be taken not to take it together with penicillamine or levothyroxine sodium. Women who are pregnant or may become pregnant should exercise caution when taking this medication, as its safety during pregnancy has not been established, and it should only be used when necessary. If nursing, it is advisable to avoid this medication as it may be transmitted through breast milk. The safety for children has not been established, so it is preferable not to use it in children. Elderly individuals may experience reduced digestive function, so dosage should be adjusted, and their condition should be closely monitored during use. This medication should be stored out of reach of children, and it is important to not transfer it to other containers to maintain its quality.
