Patients with poor liver or kidney function, elderly patients, those with a history of drug allergies, and patients with heart or lung function issues should exercise greater caution when using this medication. Various side effects such as skin rashes, itching, blood abnormalities, liver function abnormalities, heart problems, gastrointestinal symptoms, and neurological symptoms may occur while taking this medication; therefore, if any unusual symptoms arise, immediate consultation with a healthcare professional is necessary. Prolonged use may lead to hypomagnesemia, increased fracture risk, and vitamin B12 absorption disorders, requiring regular checks. This medication strongly inhibits gastric acid, which may slightly increase the risk of bacterial infections in the gastrointestinal tract. If diarrhea persists for a long time, consideration should be given to the possibility of Clostridium difficile infection. Caution should be taken while driving or operating machinery as symptoms such as drowsiness may occur. This medication may interact with other drugs; therefore, especially if taking antiviral agents, anticoagulants, certain antibiotics, or diuretics, it is vital to inform the healthcare professional. It is safest for pregnant or lactating women not to use this medication, and expert consultation should be sought if needed. Safety in children has not been established, so its use is not recommended. When taking this medication, do not chew or crush the tablets; they should be swallowed whole and stored in a cool, dry place out of the reach of children. In the event of overdose, as there is no specific antidote, immediate medical attention should be received.
