Precautions

This medication contains lactose and should not be used in patients with a genetic problem that prevents the breakdown of lactose, such as galactose intolerance, congenital lactase deficiency, or glucose-galactose malabsorption. While taking this medication, side effects such as diarrhea, nausea, abdominal pain, rash, and dizziness may occur; therefore, if any abnormal symptoms arise, consult a doctor immediately. Serious adverse reactions such as liver dysfunction or hepatitis may occur, so liver health should be carefully monitored. If symptoms do not improve after about 2 weeks of use, avoid long-term use and consult a physician. It is recommended to take this medication on an empty stomach, as taking it with food may alter the drug's effectiveness. Additionally, when taken with other drugs that affect the nervous system, such as anticholinergics, the effectiveness of this medication may be diminished, so care should be taken to space out the dosages of both drugs. Women who are pregnant or may become pregnant should only take this medication after thorough consideration of its benefits and risks. If breastfeeding, it is recommended to avoid taking this medication, and if unavoidable, ceasing breastfeeding is advisable. The safety of this medication has not been fully established for children and the elderly; thus, especially in the elderly, renal and hepatic functions may decline, necessitating careful monitoring and possible dosage adjustment in the event of adverse reactions. Finally, this medication should be kept out of reach of children, and transferring it to another container may compromise quality, so caution is advised.
