This medication should not be used in patients with complete biliary obstruction. Moreover, as it contains lactose, it should not be administered to patients with genetic issues such as galactose intolerance, Lapp lactase deficiency, or glucose-galactose malabsorption. Caution should be exercised when using this drug in patients with chronic active hepatitis, cirrhosis, hypokalemia, severe pancreatic disease, peptic ulcers, or gallstones. Digestive symptoms such as diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, constipation, heartburn, and upper gastrointestinal discomfort may occur while taking this medication. Additionally, hypersensitivity reactions such as itching or rash may occur rarely, and occasionally skin rashes may develop, but usually these symptoms resolve when used with antihistamines. Transient jaundice may appear, in which case discontinuing the medication or using jaundice treatment agents will resolve the symptoms. Rarely, generalized malaise or dizziness may also occur. This medication has reported serious side effects such as cirrhosis, ascites, and acute hepatitis C in a six-year post-marketing study, so caution is needed. It is essential to adhere to the prescribed dosage and regimen, and if symptoms do not improve after taking the medication for more than 8 weeks or if abnormal symptoms develop, discontinue use immediately and consult a physician or pharmacist. It must be stored out of the reach of children. Pregnant women or women of childbearing potential are advised not to use this medication due to reports suggesting it may harm the fetus in animal studies.
