Adverse Reactions
This medication is generally well-tolerated, with mild side effects that typically do not require discontinuation of treatment. The overall incidence of side effects with this medication is similar to that of a placebo.
Clinical diagnostic trials have evaluated the use of this medication in 2,600 adults aged 15 years and older. In two 12-week clinical trials similar to each other and placebo-controlled, the medication group had ≥1% of patients experiencing abdominal pain and headache related to the medication, with an incidence lower than that observed in placebo-treated patients. However, there was no significant difference in the incidence of these side effects between the two groups.
544 patients in the clinical trials had taken the medication for at least 6 months, 253 for 1 year, and 21 for 2 years. The long-term use of the medication showed no different adverse reactions compared to those mentioned above.
