Precautions

This medication should not be taken by individuals who regularly consume more than three drinks of alcohol per day due to the risk of liver damage; consultation with a doctor or pharmacist is essential. This medication contains acetaminophen; taking it with other acetaminophen-containing medications may exceed the maximum daily dosage and cause liver damage, so co-administration should be avoided. People allergic to chlorzoxazone or acetaminophen should not take this medication. Patients with severe liver or kidney disease, those with allergic histories, and women who are pregnant or may become pregnant must consult a doctor or pharmacist before taking this medication. If hypersensitivity reactions such as hives, skin redness, or itching occur while taking this medication, it should be discontinued immediately. Rarely, skin rash, bleeding, changes in urine color, severe swelling, or anaphylaxis symptoms may occur, so caution is necessary. Discontinue use if symptoms of liver dysfunction appear, and be cautious of gastrointestinal disturbances, gastrointestinal bleeding, drowsiness, dizziness, headache, fatigue, or excessive agitation. Additionally, caution should be exercised when taking this medication with alcohol or central nervous system depressants, as interactions may exacerbate side effects. Store this medication out of reach of children, away from direct sunlight, in a cool, dry place. To maintain quality, do not transfer the medication to another container to prevent misuse.
