Precautions

This medication should not be used by certain patients. For example, individuals who have allergic reactions to this medication should not take it. Patients with severely impaired liver or kidney function should also avoid this medication as it may put a burden on the body. This medication is primarily broken down in the liver and excreted through the kidneys. Additionally, it is safer not to use this medication in patients with epilepsy, acute angle-closure glaucoma, or severe myasthenia gravis. Patients taking MAO inhibitors should not take this medication together, as blood pressure may rise to dangerous levels. This medication contains lactose, so it is advisable not to take it if you have lactose intolerance or specific genetic metabolic disorders. Various side effects may occur during use. For example, heart and vascular issues may manifest as chest pain, fainting, blood pressure changes, etc. In the central nervous system, changes in mental state can occur, such as drowsiness, dizziness, insomnia, anxiety, hallucinations, and suicidal thoughts. It may also affect the eyes and ears, causing symptoms like tinnitus, eye congestion, itching, and glare. Rarely, there may be abnormal milk secretion or thyroid function abnormalities. In the digestive system, symptoms such as changes in appetite, nausea, and abdominal discomfort may arise. In the urogenital system, issues such as urination problems or menstrual irregularities and changes in libido have been reported. Muscles, bones, and the nervous system may also be affected, resulting in muscle pain, spasms, and involuntary movements. There may also be side effects in the respiratory system and skin, and liver function test values may rise. There may be effects on the blood, leading to a decrease in white blood cells or platelets, so caution is necessary. Particularly, a serious symptom known as neuroleptic malignant syndrome may rarely occur, and immediate treatment should be sought if symptoms such as high fever, muscle stiffness, and disturbances in consciousness develop. This medication has not yet been definitively recognized as an antipsychotic agent, and its use for treating mental disorders is not recommended. During use, drowsiness or dizziness may occur, so it is safest to avoid driving or operating dangerous machinery. Patients with past experiences of using central nervous system depressants such as sedatives or sleeping pills should gradually taper off the medication rather than stopping abruptly. This medication can affect dopamine receptors in the brain, which may lead to anxiety or movement disorders in some patients. When taken with other psychiatric medications, there may be potential interactions, so caution is required. It is advisable to avoid taking this medication with alcohol. Women who are pregnant or may become pregnant should consult a doctor before taking this medication, and it is recommended to avoid administration during breastfeeding. For children under 18 years of age, safety and efficacy have not been established, so it is advisable not to use it. In case of overdose, symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, dizziness, and drowsiness may appear, and since there is no specific antidote, immediate treatment in a hospital is necessary. To use this medication safely, inform the doctor about any current medications or alcohol consumption, and always disclose your pregnancy or breastfeeding status. The risk of substance abuse is low, but patients with a history of substance abuse should be monitored carefully.
