Precautions

This medication contains lactose and should not be used in patients with genetic lactose intolerance, certain enzyme deficiencies, or glucose-galactose malabsorption. During treatment, some patients may experience gastrointestinal adverse reactions such as nausea, abdominal discomfort, diarrhea, and vomiting. It can affect liver function; therefore, if symptoms of hepatitis or jaundice occur, stop taking the medication immediately and consult healthcare professionals. Allergic reactions such as rash, urticaria, and swelling may rarely occur, so caution is needed if skin rash or itching develops. This medication may cause drowsiness or dizziness, so caution is required when driving or operating machinery. If symptoms do not improve within 2 weeks of taking the medication, it is advisable not to use it for a prolonged period. Taking the medication on an empty stomach helps maintain stable blood concentrations, so it is preferable not to take it with meals. Co-administration with anticholinergics may reduce the effectiveness of this medication, so if taken together, care should be taken with the dosing interval. Women who are pregnant or may become pregnant should consult with a physician before taking this medication; if breastfeeding, it is advisable to either avoid taking the medication or discontinue breastfeeding. Safety in pediatric patients has not been established, so it is advisable not to use this medication in children. Elderly patients may experience reduced kidney and liver function, so their condition should be closely monitored, and dosage should be adjusted if necessary. This medication should be kept out of reach of children, and it is important not to transfer it to other containers to maintain the quality of the medication.
