(2) Patients with QT prolongation syndrome or uncontrolled arrhythmia are contraindicated as the medication may exacerbate cardiac conduction abnormalities.
(3) Patients with Child Pugh C grade liver dysfunction are contraindicated, as significant restriction in drug metabolism may lead to cumulative toxicity.

Pregnant women are prohibited from using it, as animal studies have shown embryotoxicity (such as abnormal bone development); Breastfeeding should be suspended during lactation, as medication may be secreted into breast milk.
