Use in pregnancy and lactation:
Pregnancy:
In studies conducted on animals, taking the drug in the first months of pregnancy in doses several times higher than the dose consumed by humans causes fetal defects. However, if you are pregnant or planning to become pregnant, consult your doctor before taking the drug.
Breastfeeding:
A small amount of this drug is secreted in breast milk, so taking this drug during breastfeeding is not recommended. Also, because this drug reduces body secretions, the amount of milk may decrease in some patients.

Precautions:
If you are taking this medication, inform your doctor before doing an allergy test.
If you are taking large amounts of aspirin while taking this medication, inform your doctor because antihistamines may mask the symptoms of aspirin overdose, such as tinnitus.
Avoid taking this pill with alcohol or drugs that depress the central nervous system.
This medication may cause drowsiness or decreased alertness, so avoid doing tasks that require full alertness, such as driving or operating heavy machinery.
This medication may cause dry mouth, nose, and throat. You can use sugar-free candy, ice cubes, sugar-free gum, or artificial saliva to relieve it.
If dry mouth persists for more than two weeks, see a dentist. It may cause tooth decay, gum disease, and fungal infections.
