Taking this medication with food may increase its blood concentration, so it is usually recommended to take it on an empty stomach. When taken with anticholinergics, the effect of this medication may be reduced, so they should be taken at different intervals. Women who are pregnant or may become pregnant should use this medication only under the judgment of a physician when necessary, and breastfeeding should be avoided if possible or breastfeeding should be discontinued.
