Precautions

This medication may affect liver function, potentially leading to liver dysfunction or symptoms of jaundice. If such symptoms occur, the medication should be discontinued immediately and a doctor consulted. This medication contains zinc, which may interfere with copper absorption, potentially leading to copper deficiency. Caution is advised especially in patients with poor nutritional status, as anemia or decreased blood cells may occur. If rash, itching, hives, or other hypersensitivity reactions appear during administration, it is advisable to stop taking the medication and consult a healthcare professional. Abnormalities such as eosinophilia or leukopenia, and thrombocytopenia may appear in blood tests, so regular examinations may be necessary. Gastrointestinal symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, abdominal bloating, diarrhea, constipation, and heartburn may occur; if these symptoms persist, inform healthcare personnel. Women who are pregnant or may become pregnant should consult a doctor before taking this medication, and those who are breastfeeding should avoid using this medication as it may be transmitted in breast milk. Safety in children has not been established, and experience is limited, so caution should be taken when administering to children. Elderly patients may have decreased digestive function, so dosage should be reduced and their condition closely monitored. This medication may reduce the effectiveness of certain drugs when taken together, so when taken with penicillamine or levothyroxine sodium, it is advised to allow a time gap or consult a physician. Drugs should be kept out of reach of children, and it is important not to transfer them to other containers to maintain quality.
