This drug contains lactose, so individuals with genetic issues such as galactose intolerance, lactose deficiency, or glucose-galactose malabsorption should not take it.

Children under 1 year of age, patients undergoing medical treatment, children receiving normal diets with significant sunlight exposure, pregnant women or women who may become pregnant, nursing mothers, premature infants, and infants should consult with a doctor or pharmacist before taking this medication. It is particularly important to be cautious as vitamin D can pass into breast milk and cause hypercalcemia in newborns. Patients with cardiac or circulatory issues, kidney disorders, or hypoproteinemia, as well as those taking cardiac glycosides, should also consult with a specialist before use. If symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, constipation, hypotension, flushing, arrhythmia, or skin rashes occur during use, it is essential to stop taking the medication immediately and consult a specialist. Additionally, overdose may lead to gastrointestinal disturbances, hypernatremia, congestive heart failure, and edema, and long-term use may result in hypercalcemia or stone formation; therefore, caution is needed. Caution should also be exercised when taken in conjunction with aldosterone antagonists or triamterene due to the risk of hyperkalemia, and if symptoms do not improve after one month of use, consult a professional. This medication must be taken according to the prescribed dosage and regimen, and adult supervision is required when administering to children.
