Precautions

This medication contains lactose; therefore, individuals with genetic issues such as galactose intolerance, lactase deficiency, or glucose-galactose malabsorption should not take it. During the use of this medication, gastrointestinal and other adverse reactions such as nausea, abdominal pain, diarrhea, and fatigue may occur. Liver function may be affected, so the health status of the liver should be closely monitored.

Allergic reactions such as rashes, hives, and edema may occur, so if these symptoms are present, stop taking the medication and inform healthcare personnel. It is recommended to take this medication on an empty stomach, as taking it with food may alter blood concentration.

In children or the elderly, the safety of this medication may not be fully established, or physical function may be diminished, requiring more careful observation and adjustment during use.
