Symptoms such as headache, dizziness, nausea may occur when taking this medication, and hypersensitivity reactions like itching or rashes may also occur. Additionally, gastrointestinal symptoms such as drowsiness, muscle pain, insomnia, abdominal distension, loss of appetite, constipation, diarrhea, dry mouth, dysphagia, heartburn, vomiting, abdominal pain, and indigestion may manifest.

Symptoms such as edema, facial swelling, palpitations, pharyngitis, fever, and sweating may rarely occur. This medication may show delayed clearance from the body in cases of viral infection, liver and kidney dysfunction, elderly patients, and heart failure patients; thus, caution is advised. Interaction may occur when taken with caffeine or other xanthine drugs, central nervous system stimulants, or sympathomimetic agents, so it is recommended to consult a specialist. Use of this medication is limited for women who are pregnant or breastfeeding, and should be administered cautiously according to a doctor's judgment if necessary. In children below 18 years old or elderly patients over 70, caution is warranted as safety and efficacy have not been adequately established.
