This medication should not be used in certain patients. In particular, people who have an allergic reaction to this drug should avoid taking it. During treatment, gastrointestinal symptoms such as temporary nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, and diarrhea may occur. Additionally, body odor may change, so please keep this in mind. Rarely, allergic reactions such as skin rash, urticaria, and facial swelling have been reported, so if any unusual symptoms occur, you should consult a healthcare professional immediately. Patients with impaired kidney function, especially those with uremia, may experience muscle weakness symptoms when taking this medication, so caution is needed. Pregnant women should only use this medication when the benefits of treatment outweigh the risks, as its safety during pregnancy has not been sufficiently verified. Women who may become pregnant should also use it cautiously. It is unclear how much of this drug is transmitted through breast milk in lactating women, but since many medications can be passed to the baby through breast milk, caution should be exercised while taking it. Finally, this medication must be taken diluted with water or other liquids before oral administration; taking it undiluted may irritate the gastrointestinal tract.
