While taking this medication, avoid using it in conjunction with certain antiviral drugs, as this may reduce the effectiveness of the antiviral drugs and could lead to drug resistance. Additionally, co-administration with anticoagulants that thin the blood may decrease the effectiveness of these medications, so caution is advised. The concurrent use with cytotoxic agents or immunosuppressants used in cancer treatment may lead to significant issues due to changes in drug concentration and decreased immune effects, and it is advisable not to take them together.

If allergic reactions occur during use, such as skin redness, itching, increased sensitivity to sunlight, immediate cessation of use and consultation with a healthcare professional are required. Furthermore, it is important to stop use and consult if symptoms of mental nervous system issues such as fatigue, anxiety, drowsiness, or restlessness, or gastrointestinal disturbances occur. If symptoms suggesting liver dysfunction occur, such as fatigue, loss of appetite, jaundice, vomiting, or dark urine, immediately discontinue use and consult healthcare personnel. In case of overdose, the skin may become very sensitive to sunlight, so it is advisable to reduce sun exposure for 1-2 weeks after dosing and to use sunscreen or wear protective clothing to safeguard the skin. This medication may activate certain enzymes in the body, lowering the blood concentration of other medications; thus, caution is required when taking it with cardiac glycosides, bronchodilators, antiarrhythmics, anticonvulsants, and sedative-hypnotics as it may reduce their effectiveness.
