Precautions

This medication contains lactose and should not be used in patients with genetic disorders such as galactose intolerance, Lapp lactase deficiency, or glucose-galactose malabsorption. Care is required when taking this medication, as side effects such as nausea, intestinal gas retention, and increased triglycerides may occur. Symptoms such as diarrhea, dry mouth, and fatigue may appear after taking this medication, and changes in liver function test results may occur, necessitating regular testing. Severe hepatitis, liver dysfunction, and jaundice may occur, so if unusual symptoms appear, you should stop the medication immediately and consult your doctor. Rarely, allergic reactions such as rashes, hives, and edema, as well as blood abnormalities, gastrointestinal symptoms, palpitations, dizziness, and headaches may occur. Women who are pregnant or may become pregnant should only use this medication after careful consideration of its therapeutic effects and risks, and those who are breastfeeding should avoid taking it or stop breastfeeding. Safety in children has not been established, and there is no clinical experience, so caution is advised. Elderly patients may have decreased kidney and liver function, so dosing should be adjusted while closely monitoring their condition. Taking this medication with food may increase blood concentrations, so it is advisable to take it on an empty stomach. Taking it with anticholinergics may decrease the efficacy of this medication, so sufficient time intervals should be maintained between doses if taken together.
