Precautions

This medication may cause abnormal symptoms affecting the nervous system, so careful observation of new mental changes or behavioral changes is required during use. If symptoms such as restlessness, aggression, anxiety, depression, hallucinations, or suicidal thoughts appear, discontinue use immediately and consult a doctor. This medication is not to be used in patients with specific allergic reactions or with severe renal impairment, as well as in pregnant or nursing women. In addition, patients with genetic issues such as lactose intolerance should also avoid this medication. Patients with reduced renal or liver function and the elderly should consult their doctor before use, as the concentration of the ingredients may increase. This medication is unsuitable for treating acute asthma attacks, and patients should have emergency medication available when experiencing acute symptoms. Patients with aspirin hypersensitivity should avoid taking aspirin or non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs while using this medication. Drowsiness or fatigue may occur with use, so caution is advised when driving or operating machinery. Taking this medication with alcohol or central nervous system depressants may enhance drowsiness, so caution is needed. Pregnant or nursing women should avoid using this medication for safety. In children, particularly those under 15 years old, the safety and efficacy of this medication have not been established, and therefore it should not be used. There is no specific antidote for overdose; symptomatic treatment and gastric lavage may be required if necessary. This medication is sensitive to light, so it should be stored in a sealed container until use and kept out of reach of children.
