This medication is for injection use, and care must be taken as glass fragments may mix when opening the ampoule. Extra caution is needed when using it in children or the elderly. It should not be administered to patients who are allergic to any of the ingredients or have experienced hypersensitivity reactions. It should be used cautiously in patients with a history of hypersensitivity. Serious side effects such as shock may occur rarely during use; therefore, if symptoms such as low blood pressure, chest pain, or difficulty breathing occur, administration should be stopped immediately and appropriate treatment sought. Allergic reactions such as rashes may also occur, and use should be discontinued if symptoms appear. Gastrointestinal side effects can include nausea, vomiting, glossitis, and occasionally diarrhea, and symptoms such as headache or frequent urination may rarely appear. When administering the injection, it is advisable to inject slowly to minimize vascular pain. To prevent bacterial infection, the remaining solution should not be reused. When opening the ampoule, the marked side should be facing up, and the opposite side should be gently pressed to create a clean break, ensuring the ampoule is wiped with an alcohol swab to prevent contamination. This medication should be stored in a safe place out of reach of children, and transferring it to another container may lead to accidents or degradation of the drug's quality.
