This medication is in a glass ampule injection format, so care should be taken when opening the injection container to avoid glass fragments. Extra caution is particularly needed when administering to children or the elderly. It should not be used in patients who have previously had allergic reactions to this medication or its components. Care is particularly necessary before administering to patients with a history of allergic reactions. Rarely, serious side effects such as shock can occur, so if symptoms such as a decrease in blood pressure, chest pain, or difficulty breathing occur during administration, the injection should be stopped immediately, and appropriate treatment should be provided. Additionally, side effects such as rash, nausea, vomiting, oral inflammation, diarrhea, headache, and frequent urination can occur, and it is advisable to stop administration if these symptoms develop. Pain may occur in the blood vessel during injection, so it should be administered as slowly as possible. When using the injection solution, leftover medication should not be reused to prevent bacterial contamination. Care should be taken to wipe the ampule with clean ethanol cotton to avoid contamination when cutting, ensuring that the marked part of the ampule faces upwards and lightly pressing the opposite side to cut. This medication should be stored in a secure place out of reach of children, and should not be transferred to another container as this may affect quality or cause accidents; it must be stored in the original container.
