While taking this medication, it is advisable not to combine it with phosphates, calcium salts, oral tetracycline antibiotics, antacids, and drugs such as levodopa. Women undergoing treatment, pregnant or potentially pregnant, nursing mothers, premature infants, and children should consult a healthcare expert before taking this medication. Patients with heart or circulatory diseases, kidney disorders, hypoproteinemia, hyperlipidemia, diabetic hyperlipidemia, pancreatitis, or issues with lipid metabolism should also consult before taking. If symptoms such as stomach discomfort, diarrhea, constipation, rash, nausea, vomiting, red spots, irregular heartbeats, or central nervous system dysfunction occur while taking, stop taking immediately and consult a professional. Additionally, prolonged menstruation or unusual bleeding could increase the risk of thrombosis when taken with oral contraceptives, so caution is needed. Long-term high doses of pyridoxine (Vitamin B6) may cause nerve damage, and in patients with deficiencies of Vitamin B12 and folic acid, hematological abnormalities may appear. Overdose may result in symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, edema, and heart failure, and caution should be exercised if taken with certain diuretics due to the risk of increased blood potassium levels. If symptoms do not improve after taking for more than one month, consult a healthcare professional. Always adhere to the prescribed dosage and administration, and when administering to children, supervision by a guardian is necessary. Avoid drinking tannin-containing teas such as green or black tea before and after taking this medication. Patients with lipid metabolism issues should regularly check their blood lipid levels and adjust dosages accordingly while considering lipid levels when using other lipid-injectable medications.
