This drug should not be used in patients who have previously experienced severe allergic reactions or shock due to this drug or cephalosporin antibiotics. Patients allergic to penicillin antibiotics, or those with a personal or family history of allergic conditions should use this drug with caution. Patients with severely impaired kidney function, those unable to take orally, elderly patients, and those in poor general condition should be carefully monitored for symptoms of vitamin K deficiency. Patients with gastrointestinal diseases, particularly those with a history of colitis should also be cautious when using this medication. This drug may rarely cause severe allergic reactions, skin rashes, blood abnormalities, liver and kidney dysfunction, gastrointestinal disturbances, respiratory issues, and neurological symptoms. If any unusual symptoms occur, consult a physician immediately. To prevent the development of resistant bacteria, it should only be used for the minimum required duration, and susceptibility testing before treatment is advisable. When used with other medications, there may be interactions, particularly when combined with drugs affecting the kidneys, anticoagulants, or oral contraceptives. Pregnant or breastfeeding women should use this drug with caution, as its safety has not been fully established. Consult a doctor prior to use. The safety and efficacy of this drug have not been confirmed in neonates under one month old. Elderly patients, due to decreased physical function, are more susceptible to side effects and may experience bleeding risks due to vitamin K deficiency, hence dosage and administration intervals should be adjusted, and they should be closely monitored. This drug may affect test results, hence caution is needed in interpreting results during urinalysis or blood tests.
