This medication may affect the central nervous system, potentially causing symptoms such as restlessness, anxiety, depression, hallucinations, and suicidal thoughts. Therefore, if any new central nervous system symptoms or behavioral changes occur during treatment, you should inform your doctor immediately. Additionally, this medication should not be administered to patients with specific allergic reactions, severely impaired kidney function, or to pregnant or nursing women. Patients with weakened kidney or liver function, or elderly patients should use this medication cautiously, as the ingredients may remain in the body for an extended period. This medication is primarily used to improve symptoms of allergic rhinitis and asthma, and side effects such as upper respiratory infections, gastrointestinal disturbances, headaches, and drowsiness may occur during treatment. Drowsiness or fatigue may occur with use, so caution is advised with tasks requiring concentration such as driving or operating machinery. Furthermore, taking this medication together with alcohol or other central nervous system depressants may enhance drowsiness or decrease performance capabilities. Pregnant women or women who may become pregnant should consult a doctor before using this medication, and it is advisable to avoid taking it while nursing. This medication has not been proven safe and effective for children under 15 years of age and should not be used in that population. While taking this medication, it may affect certain clinical test results such as allergy tests, so patients should inform their doctor prior to undergoing testing. In case of overdose, there is no specific antidote, so stomach lavage or general supportive treatment may be necessary depending on symptoms. Finally, this medication is sensitive to light, so do not open the packaging until just before use, and store it safely out of reach of children.
