Precautions

This drug should not be used by patients who have had allergic reactions to this drug or other H2-receptor antagonists. Additionally, this drug contains lactose, so it should not be administered to patients with genetic problems that prevent the digestion of lactose. Caution should be exercised in patients with a history of drug allergies, impaired liver function, or decreased renal function. In particular, patients with impaired renal function should reduce the dosage or increase the interval between doses. Rarely, serious allergic reactions such as skin rash, itching, difficulty breathing, and anaphylaxis may occur; if such symptoms appear, the use of the drug should be immediately discontinued. Hematological abnormalities such as anemia or decreased white blood cell count, gastrointestinal disturbances such as constipation or diarrhea, and signs of impaired liver function have also been reported, so patients should consult a physician if abnormal symptoms arise. Neurological symptoms such as dizziness, drowsiness, and confusion may also occur rarely, so caution is necessary when driving or operating machinery. This drug may conceal symptoms of gastric cancer; therefore, it should only be used after ruling out the possibility of gastric cancer. Patients with poor renal function may have elevated risk of side effects due to difficulty in drug elimination, so it is advisable to conduct renal function tests and adjust the dosage. The safety of this drug during pregnancy or lactation has not been sufficiently established; it should only be used when the benefits of treatment outweigh the risks, and in the case of breastfeeding, it is preferable to avoid use if possible. The safety for pediatric use has not been established, and elderly patients may have a higher likelihood of decreased renal function, so renal function tests are recommended before administration. In cases of overdose, symptoms such as vomiting, diarrhea, and miosis may occur, and appropriate medical treatment should be sought immediately. This drug has a low likelihood of serious interactions with other medications, but caution is advised when taken with high doses of aspirin, as it may increase serum salicylate levels.
