When taking this medication, various side effects may occur. Rarely, shock reactions may appear, so symptoms should be closely monitored, and if abnormal symptoms arise, usage should be immediately halted, and appropriate treatment should be sought. Liver enzyme levels may also increase, so regular liver function tests are necessary. It may also affect kidney function, resulting in proteinuria or elevated blood test levels, thus caution is required. Allergic reactions such as anemia, skin rashes, and itching may also occur. Neurological symptoms may include insomnia, drowsiness, headaches, and limb paralysis. Gastrointestinal symptoms may include nausea, vomiting, loss of appetite, and abdominal pain. Urological symptoms may include difficulty urinating or urinary incontinence. Systemically, symptoms such as weakness, dizziness, and decreased muscle tone may arise. Rarely, facial flushing, sweating, and edema may also occur. Furthermore, very rarely, serious allergic reactions like anaphylaxis or angioedema have been reported. Serious skin reactions like toxic epidermal necrolysis syndrome may also occur, so if symptoms such as fever, skin rash, blisters, or conjunctival injection appear, medication should be stopped immediately. Generally, during the use of this drug, weakness, staggering, and drowsiness may occur, so if such symptoms are present, dosage should be reduced or usage should be stopped. Additionally, because drowsiness or decreased attention can occur, it is advisable to avoid driving or operating dangerous machinery. Patients at risk of lipid overload should regularly check their blood lipid levels and adjust the dosage if necessary. Caution is needed when using this drug with other medications. Particularly when used in combination with similar drugs or muscle relaxants, motor control disorders may appear, so consultation with a specialist is advised.
