Precautions

This drug should not be used in patients who have previously experienced shock due to this medication. Patients who have had an allergic reaction to this medication, its ingredients, or cephalosporin antibiotics should also not be administered. This drug contains lactose, so it cannot be used in patients with genetic issues such as galactose intolerance, Lapp lactase deficiency, or glucose-galactose malabsorption. Patients with a penicillin allergy should use this medication with caution, as some may experience cross-reactivity. If you or anyone in your family has a tendency to develop allergic symptoms such as asthma, rash, or hives, this medication should also be used cautiously. Patients with severely impaired kidney function may experience increased blood concentrations of this medication, so careful dosing and extended intervals should be observed. Patients who have difficulty taking medication orally, are receiving parenteral nutrition, or are in poor general health should be observed closely, as vitamin K deficiency symptoms may develop. Elderly patients have diminished bodily function and may easily experience adverse reactions, so dosing and intervals should be adjusted and used carefully. Patients with a history of colitis should be cautious when using this medication. During the use of this drug, severe allergic reactions such as shock, anaphylaxis, severe skin rash, blood abnormalities, pseudomembranous colitis, interstitial pneumonia, kidney failure, and acute hepatitis may occur rarely, so if symptoms develop, administration should be stopped immediately and healthcare professionals consulted. This drug can produce resistant strains like other antibiotics, so it should only be used for the minimum necessary duration and administered appropriately according to susceptibility testing. Interactions may occur when administered with iron preparations, antacids, warfarin, probenecid, etc., so it is advisable to adjust the dosing intervals or consult healthcare professionals when taking this medication. Pregnant women or women who may become pregnant should only use this medication when the benefits of treatment outweigh the risks since its safety has not been established.
