While taking this medication, it is advised not to use it in conjunction with anticoagulant drugs that thin the blood.

The duration of use varies depending on symptoms, but it should be taken for at least 8 weeks, and if symptoms do not improve or worsen after 3 months, consultation with a doctor is necessary. If symptoms such as nausea, headache, insomnia, anxiety, skin rash, or itching appear during use, the medication should be stopped immediately and a healthcare professional consulted. There is a rare possibility of severe allergic reactions such as anaphylaxis, so caution is required.
