Precautions

This medication contains lactose and should not be used in patients with genetic problems such as galactose intolerance, Lapp lactase deficiency, or glucose-galactose malabsorption. While taking this medication, gastrointestinal-related side effects may occur, such as nausea, abdominal discomfort, diarrhea, constipation, and vomiting. In rare cases, serious adverse reactions such as liver dysfunction or jaundice may occur, so if symptoms arise, promptly discontinue use and consult a doctor. Additionally, hypersensitivity reactions such as rash, urticaria, or neurological symptoms like dizziness, headache, or fatigue have been reported, so caution is needed if unusual symptoms develop. In general, if symptoms do not improve after taking this medication for more than 2 weeks, it is advisable not to use it for a long-term. Taking this medication with food may increase its blood concentration, so it is recommended to take it on an empty stomach. Taking this medication with anticholinergics may reduce its effectiveness, so it is advisable to space them apart when used together. Pregnant women or women who may become pregnant should only use this medication when the benefits outweigh the risks, and breastfeeding should be avoided or the medication should be discontinued if possible. The safety of this medication in children has not been established, so it is preferable not to use it in children. Elderly patients may have reduced kidney and liver function, so their condition should be monitored closely and doses adjusted as necessary. Finally, this medication should be kept out of reach of children, and care should be taken not to transfer it to another container as this may increase the risk of accidents and degrade the quality.
