Extra caution is necessary, especially for children and the elderly. Patients with a history of allergies to any of the ingredients in this medication should not use it. Patients who have experienced allergic reactions to drugs in the past should also exercise caution when using this medication. Very rarely, serious allergic reactions such as shock may occur with the use of this medication, so if symptoms such as a drop in blood pressure, chest pain, or shortness of breath occur, use should be stopped immediately and appropriate treatment sought. Additionally, if skin allergic reactions such as rashes occur, use should be discontinued. Occasionally, gastrointestinal symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, mouth inflammation, or diarrhea may occur, as well as symptoms like headache or frequent urination. When administering this drug intravenously, pain in the blood vessel may occur, so it is advisable to adjust the injection speed slowly. When using the injection solution, to prevent bacterial contamination, any remaining medication should not be reused. When opening the ampoule, the indicated section should be facing up and should be broken cleanly by applying force in the opposite direction, and the top of the ampoule should be wiped with an alcohol swab to prevent foreign substances from mixing. This medication should be stored out of reach of children, and transferring it to other containers should be avoided as it may compromise quality and safety.
