Precautions

This medication should not be used in certain patients. First, patients who are allergic to the active ingredient or any other components of this medication should not take it. Second, patients with severely high and uncontrolled hypertension should also not use this medication. Third, patients with severe heart conditions may experience worsening symptoms when taking this medication, so caution is required. This medication should be used cautiously in some patients. For instance, patients with congenital or acquired prolonged QT interval should be careful when taking this medication, as it can affect cardiac rhythm. Additionally, this medication is not recommended for patients with severely impaired renal function or severely damaged liver function. Patients with severe renal impairment or moderate liver impairment who are on strong CYP3A4 enzyme inhibitors should avoid using this medication. Patients with bladder outlet obstruction or those taking specific medications for overactive bladder should also use this medication with caution. Lastly, this medication contains yellow dye, so caution is needed for patients who are allergic to this ingredient. Common side effects that may occur while taking this medication include tachycardia and urinary tract infections. Other reported symptoms include dyspepsia, rash, itching, joint edema, and various others. Rarely, arrhythmia such as atrial fibrillation can occur, so any unusual symptoms should be promptly consulted with a healthcare provider. This medication may slightly increase heart rate and blood pressure, so hypertensive patients should monitor their blood pressure regularly while taking it. Patients with a history of prolonged QT interval or those on medications that prolong QT interval need cardiac monitoring. Patients with bladder outlet obstruction or those undergoing treatment for overactive bladder should be cautious as issues such as urinary retention may arise. This medication can interact with multiple drugs, so if you are taking other medications, it is essential to consult with a physician or pharmacist. Caution is required when used in conjunction with medications that affect CYP3A4 and CYP2D6 enzymes, and dosage adjustments may be necessary when combined with certain antibiotics or antifungals. Moreover, this medication may have side effects related to increased heart rate, so the impacts of drug interactions should also be considered. Pregnant women or women of childbearing potential should not take this medication. Breastfeeding women should also avoid using this medication as it may be excreted in breast milk. Safety and efficacy in children under 19 years have not yet been established, so this medication should not be used in this age group. In cases of overdose, symptoms such as increased heart rate, palpitations, and elevated blood pressure may occur, and immediate medical attention is required. In cases of overdose, monitoring of heart rate, blood pressure, and electrocardiogram is necessary, and symptomatic treatment should be provided according to symptoms.
