Precautions

This drug should not be administered to certain patients. For example, patients who are allergic to this drug or its components, those who have experienced hypersensitivity reactions, patients taking certain antiviral medications, and pregnant or breastfeeding women should not take this drug. Patients with impaired liver or kidney function, as well as the elderly, should use this drug cautiously due to insufficient safety data regarding liver and kidney function. Various adverse reactions may occur while taking this drug. The most common side effects include nausea, diarrhea, and dyspepsia, while rare reports include headache, dizziness, skin rashes, and fatigue. Long-term use may lead to a deficiency of vitamin B12, so patients should consult a doctor if symptoms occur. Additionally, as this drug suppresses gastric acid secretion, the risk of bacterial infection due to reduced gastric acid may increase.

This drug may interact with other medications, so patients should inform their doctor or pharmacist, especially if taking certain antiviral agents, antifungals, or iron supplements.
