Precautions

This medication should not be used in certain patients. First, patients who have an allergic reaction to the active ingredient or any other components of this medication should not take it. Furthermore, patients with uncontrolled severe hypertension or serious heart diseases should avoid taking this medication as their symptoms may worsen. This medication should be used cautiously in some patients. For instance, patients with congenital or acquired abnormalities in cardiac electrical signals, such as QT prolongation, need to be careful. It is not recommended for patients with end-stage renal disease or severe liver impairment. Moreover, this medication may interact with certain enzyme inhibitors, so patients with severe renal impairment or moderate liver impairment taking strong CYP3A4 inhibitors should avoid this medication. Patients with bladder outlet obstruction or those taking other medications for overactive bladder should also be cautious. This medication contains specific dyes, so patients who are allergic to these dyes should use it carefully. This medication may slightly increase heart rate and blood pressure, so especially hypertensive patients should regularly monitor their blood pressure. Any changes in heart rate or blood pressure typically recover upon discontinuation of the medication. Pregnant women or women who may become pregnant are advised not to take this medication, and breastfeeding women should also avoid it. The safety and efficacy in children and adolescents (under 19 years old) have not been established. In case of overdose, symptoms such as palpitations or increased heart rate may occur, and if such symptoms arise, immediate consultation with healthcare professionals is required. This medication may interact with other drugs, so patients with liver and renal function impairment should consult with their physician. Additionally, this medication should be kept out of reach of children, stored safely, and should not be transferred to another container. Finally, while this medication is known not to significantly affect driving or operating machinery, caution is still needed as individuals may respond differently.
