Taking this medication may occasionally lead to digestive symptoms such as belching, abdominal distention, dyspepsia, nausea, and queasiness. Moreover, it can affect liver function, and there have been reports of elevations in liver-related tests. This medication has not been sufficiently studied in patients with peptic ulcers, gastroesophageal reflux disease, gastritis, and gastric ulcers, so consultation with a physician is necessary before use in such conditions. Clinical trials have indicated a maximum usage experience of 2 weeks, and if symptoms do not improve after taking it for more than 2 weeks, one should discontinue use and consult a professional. There are currently no studies on interactions of this medication with other drugs, so it is advisable to consult a doctor or pharmacist if taking other medications. Women who are pregnant or may become pregnant should only take this medication when the benefits outweigh the risks, as its safety has not been established. It is also unknown whether this medication is transmitted through breast milk, so it should only be used when necessary during lactation. Safety and efficacy in neonates, children, and adolescents have not been established, thus it is advisable not to use in these populations. Elderly patients over 75 years old may experience adverse reactions more readily, so careful observation and caution in usage are recommended during treatment.
