It should not be used in patients who have had allergic reactions to this medication or any of its components. Caution is advised when administering to patients with a history of drug allergies. Serious side effects, such as shock, may rarely occur, so if symptoms like low blood pressure, chest pain, or shortness of breath appear, use should be stopped immediately, and appropriate treatment should be sought. Allergic reactions such as rashes may rarely occur, so treatment should be halted if such symptoms develop. Gastrointestinal side effects like nausea, vomiting, tongue inflammation, and sometimes diarrhea may occur, as well as occasional symptoms like headaches or frequent urination. When administered intravenously, pain may occur in the vein, so it is advisable to adjust the injection speed slowly.
