Allergic reactions such as skin rashes, itching, and hives may occur, so if such symptoms appear, discontinue use and seek consultation. Gastrointestinal symptoms such as nausea, abdominal bloating, diarrhea, and constipation may occur, so if symptoms are severe, consult a doctor. There may be interactions with other medications during the use of this drug, so caution should be taken not to take it at the same time as penicillamine or levothyroxine sodium. Pregnant women or women who may become pregnant should consult a physician before using this medication, as its safety has not been fully established. Breastfeeding women should avoid breastfeeding as this medication may be transmitted through breast milk. The safety of this medication in children has not been adequately established, so its use in children is not recommended.
