This drug should not be used in patients who have had allergic reactions to its components. During the use of this medication, rare serious allergic reactions such as shock or anaphylaxis may occur, so if symptoms arise, treatment should be stopped immediately and medical consultation should be sought. There may also be side effects that decrease white blood cell or platelet counts, so it is important to monitor the condition through regular blood tests. Liver function may be affected, so liver function tests are necessary, and treatment should be discontinued if symptoms of liver dysfunction appear. Hypersensitivity reactions such as hives, rashes, and itching may occur, and if such symptoms occur, medication should be stopped and a doctor should be consulted. This medication may cause neurological symptoms such as dizziness, drowsiness, or paralysis, so caution is required when driving or operating machinery. Gastrointestinal symptoms such as dry mouth, constipation, abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea may occur, and if discomfort persists, it should be reported. Women who are pregnant or may become pregnant should only use this medication if the benefits outweigh the risks, as its safety has not been established. Lactating women are advised to avoid this medication as it can be transmitted through breast milk. The safety of this medication in children or infants has not been sufficiently established, so caution is needed.
