Lavamipide 100 mg should be taken orally three times a day. However, for gastric ulcers, it should be taken in the morning, evening, and at bedtime.

This medication should not be used in patients who have had hypersensitivity reactions to the components. Additionally, this medication contains lactose, so patients with genetic conditions such as galactose intolerance, Lapp lactase deficiency, and glucose-galactose malabsorption should not take it. Serious allergic reactions such as shock or anaphylaxis may occur when taking this medication; if such symptoms appear, administration should be stopped immediately and appropriate treatment should be sought. Rarely, the number of white blood cells or platelets may decrease, so blood conditions should be carefully monitored. There may be issues with liver function, so if liver enzyme levels rise or jaundice symptoms appear, medication should be discontinued and a physician should be consulted. Allergic skin reactions such as urticaria, rash, and itching may occur, and if such symptoms appear, the medication should be stopped. Neurological symptoms such as dizziness, drowsiness, and paralysis may occur, so caution is needed when driving or operating machinery. Gastrointestinal symptoms may include dry mouth, constipation, abdominal bloating, diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, heartburn, abdominal pain, belching, and taste disturbances. Women who are pregnant or may become pregnant should only take this medication if the physician determines that the therapeutic benefit exceeds the risks, as its safety during pregnancy has not been established. Lactating women should avoid this medication as it may be transmitted through breast milk. The safety of this medication has not been fully confirmed in children, especially in low birth weight infants, neonates, and infants, so caution is advised for use. Elderly patients should be more attentive to side effects such as gastrointestinal symptoms due to potentially decreased physiological function. This medication should be stored out of the reach of children and care should be taken not to transfer it to other containers, as this may cause accidents or degrade the quality of the medication.
