Precautions

Individuals who have difficulty digesting, particularly those who have trouble digesting certain sugar components such as maltitol or sorbitol, should consult a physician, dentist, or pharmacist before taking this drug. Gastrointestinal disturbances such as heartburn, stomach pain, and nausea may occur while using this drug, so if these symptoms appear, stop taking it immediately and consult a professional. Caution is necessary when taking this drug simultaneously with alpha-blockers as a blood pressure medication, as blood pressure may drop too low or skin reactions or dizziness may occur. In cases of overdose, symptoms of hypersensitivity may appear, and rarely, allergic reactions such as itching, rash, facial swelling, or difficulty breathing may occur. Taking more than 10 grams per day can cause mild diarrhea, so it is important to adhere to the recommended dosage. This drug is not a fundamental treatment for benign prostatic hyperplasia, so if symptoms do not improve or worsen, a medical examination is required. Care must be taken not to take double the dose at once if the dosing interval is not maintained. If hematuria or acute hemorrhoid symptoms occur, immediate medical attention is required. While no specific interactions between this drug and food are known, it is always safest to consult a professional when taking it in combination with other medications. No specific effects related to driving or machinery operation have been reported, but individual differences may exist, so caution is advised. This drug must be kept out of reach of children and should be stored in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight, at temperatures below 25 degrees Celsius.
