Side effects such as drowsiness, liver function abnormalities, fatigue, dry mouth, and abdominal pain may occur while taking this medication, and if any abnormal symptoms arise, medical consultation should be sought immediately.

Pregnant women or those capable of becoming pregnant should consult a doctor before taking this medication, and nursing mothers should preferably avoid using this medication or discontinue breastfeeding.
