During treatment with this medication, rare cases of shock or serious allergic reactions may occur, so if symptoms develop, treatment should be stopped immediately and medical attention sought. Additionally, white blood cell or platelet counts may decrease, so blood tests should be conducted periodically to monitor the condition.
