Precautions

This medication should not be taken by patients with allergic reactions to specific components, lactose intolerance, hereditary lactose intolerance deficiency, or glucose-galactose malabsorption. This medication contains Vitamin B6, which can reduce the effectiveness of the drug Levodopa, so it is important not to take these two medications together. Additionally, individuals who are receiving medical treatment, are pregnant, or are breastfeeding should consult a doctor or pharmacist before taking this medication. If symptoms do not improve after taking this medication for about a month, or if allergic symptoms such as hives, rash, or itching occur, you should stop taking it immediately and consult a professional. If you experience decreased appetite, abdominal discomfort, nausea, vomiting, or diarrhea while taking this medication, you should stop taking it and consult a doctor or pharmacist. Taking high doses of Vitamin B6 (more than 1 gram per day) for a short period can cause nerve damage, and caution is required for long-term use exceeding 6 months as neuropathy may develop. If this medication is given to newborns or infants, dangerous side effects such as severe drowsiness, low blood pressure, and difficulty breathing may occur, so extra caution is needed. If this medication is accidentally overdosed, consult a professional immediately. Always adhere to the prescribed dosage and dosage regimen, and be cautious as taking it with certain medications or alcohol, or specific hormones, may lead to Vitamin B6 deficiency. Store this medication out of reach of children, avoid direct sunlight, and keep it in a cool, dry place. Furthermore, to maintain quality, do not transfer it to another container and prevent misuse or abuse.
