Extra caution should be taken when used in children and the elderly. Patients who have had an allergy to this drug or any of its components should not use this medication. Careful administration is required for patients with a history of hypersensitivity, and it is important to closely monitor for adverse reactions. Serious side effects such as shock may occur infrequently, so if symptoms like low blood pressure, chest pain, or difficulty breathing occur, administration should be immediately stopped and appropriate treatment sought. Moreover, hypersensitivity reactions such as rash or symptoms like nausea, vomiting, stomatitis, diarrhea, headache, or frequent urination may occur, so usage should be discontinued if these symptoms arise. To reduce vascular pain during intravenous injection, the injection speed should be as slow as possible. To prevent microbial contamination, unused portions of the solution should not be reused. When opening the ampoule, it should be held with the indicated part facing upward and lightly pressed on the opposite side to ensure a clean break, and the top of the ampoule should be cleaned with alcohol swab to prevent foreign substance contamination.
