If symptoms do not improve after taking this medication for a certain period, long-term use is not recommended. Taking the medication with food may increase drug concentration, so it is recommended to take it on an empty stomach. Taking this drug with anticholinergics may reduce its efficacy, so if used together, space out the doses. Women who are pregnant or may become pregnant should use this medication cautiously only when necessary, and breastfeeding women should preferably avoid taking it or stop nursing.
