Precautions

This medication may affect liver function, so if there are signs of liver dysfunction or jaundice, the medication should be stopped immediately, and medical attention should be sought. Since this medication contains zinc, it may hinder copper absorption, which can result in symptoms of copper deficiency. Particularly in patients with poor nutritional status, anemia or blood cell reduction may occur, so caution is advised. If hypersensitivity reactions such as rash, itching, or hives occur during use, stop taking the medication and consult a healthcare professional. Gastrointestinal symptoms such as nausea, indigestion, constipation, abdominal bloating, vomiting, heartburn, and diarrhea have been reported, so any unusual symptoms should be reported. Pregnant women or women who may become pregnant should only use this medication when the benefits outweigh the risks, as its safety during pregnancy has not been established. In the case of breastfeeding, it is advisable to avoid breastfeeding as this medication may be transmitted into breast milk. The safety of this medication in children has not been established, so it is preferable not to use it in pediatric patients. Elderly patients may have weakened digestive function, so dosage adjustments should be made, and their condition should be monitored closely. This medication may interact with other drugs, so care should be taken not to use it simultaneously with penicillamine or levothyroxine sodium.
