This medicine may rarely cause severe allergic reactions or liver dysfunction, so if symptoms such as facial pallor, low blood pressure, or difficulty breathing occur, usage should be stopped immediately and medical advice should be sought. Regular monitoring is necessary as liver function tests may show elevated levels or signs of jaundice. Serious side effects such as agranulocytosis and thrombocytopenia may occur, so if unusual symptoms such as sore throat, general malaise, or fever appear, notify a doctor immediately.

Central nervous system symptoms reported include headache, insomnia, drowsiness, confusion, hallucinations, altered consciousness, and dizziness. Circulatory symptoms may include cold extremities or facial flushing. Blood tests may reveal increased or decreased white blood cells or red blood cells, and liver function tests may also show elevated levels. Renal-related side effects such as kidney dysfunction or increased serum uric acid levels should also be monitored. This medication is used for patients with gastric ulcers or gastroesophageal reflux disease, and if there is no therapeutic effect, alternative treatments should be considered. If malignant tumors are suspected, professional examination must be completed before using this medication, and the use should be discontinued if diagnosed with malignant gastric cancer. Elderly patients may have decreased bodily function, so dosage and administration intervals should be adjusted, using the medication carefully.
