This medication, as a fluoroquinolone antibiotic, can cause tendon-related issues, such as tendonitis or tendon rupture, so it should be discontinued immediately if such symptoms appear. It is advised not to use it in patients with myasthenia gravis due to the risk of worsening symptoms. This medication is used to treat specific bacterial infections but is recommended to be used only when no other treatment methods are available. Caution should be exercised in elderly patients, patients with impaired kidney function, and those with a history of mental illness. Pregnant or breastfeeding women, adolescents under 18 years of age, and patients with specific allergy histories should not use this medication. It may cause serious allergic reactions or abnormalities in the liver, kidneys, digestive, or nervous systems, so if any abnormal symptoms arise, consult a physician immediately. During treatment, care should be taken to avoid excessive sun exposure, and if a rash or skin abnormality occurs, use should be discontinued.

Overdose may result in symptoms such as drowsiness and dizziness, so immediate medical attention should be sought.
