Due to the ingredients in this medication, there is a very rare risk of serious skin reactions, so if any rash or allergic symptoms occur, consumption should be stopped immediately and a health professional consulted.

Children under two years of age should generally not use this medication unless specifically indicated, in which case a doctor's supervision is required. Follow the prescribed usage and dosage strictly and avoid prolonged use, as it is safer not to consume alcohol. Caution is needed when taking it together with certain antidepressants or alcohol as it may affect drug metabolism. Taking this medication together with certain antibiotics may rarely cause serious metabolic abnormalities, and in such cases, consumption should be stopped immediately and a health professional consulted.
