This medication should not be used in individuals with known hypersensitivity or allergic reaction to apremilast or its components. It is associated with risks to the developing fetus and is contraindicated during pregnancy.

Therefore, caution should be exercised in older adults, and dosage may need adjustment based on individual health conditions and renal function. It has not been studied in children under 18 years, and its safety and efficacy in this population have not been established.
