While taking this medication, do not take it with anticoagulants that affect blood coagulation, such as warfarin or aspirin.

If any unusual symptoms such as nausea, headache, insomnia, anxiety, or skin rashes occur while taking this medication, consult a professional immediately. Particularly, caution should be taken as serious reactions like allergic reactions or anaphylaxis may occur.
