Precautions

This medication contains lactose; hence, it should not be used by patients with genetic conditions such as galactose intolerance, lactase deficiency, and glucose-galactose malabsorption. While taking this medication, caution is necessary as side effects such as nausea, abdominal distension, and increased serum triglycerides may occur. Some patients may experience adverse reactions such as diarrhea, dry mouth, lethargy, and serious side effects, including liver dysfunction and jaundice, may rarely occur; consult a healthcare provider immediately if symptoms arise. Hypersensitivity reactions such as rashes, urticaria, and edema may occur, so it is important to be cautious if skin abnormalities appear. If digestive function does not improve after a certain period of use, it is advisable to avoid long-term use. Taking this medication with food may increase its blood concentration; therefore, it is recommended to take it on an empty stomach. When used in combination with anticholinergics, there may be a reduction in this medication's effectiveness, so caution around dosing intervals is necessary. Women who are pregnant or may become pregnant should carefully weigh the benefits and risks of using this medication, and breastfeeding individuals should avoid this medication or consider stopping breastfeeding. Safety for children has not been established, so it is preferable to avoid use in this group. Elderly patients may have a higher risk of side effects due to decreased renal and hepatic function and should have their dosage adjusted while closely monitored.
