As this medication is an injectable ampoule, there is a risk of glass shards entering when cutting the glass container, so extreme caution should be taken when cutting the container. Particularly, extra care should be exercised when used in children or the elderly. This medication contains components extracted from human placenta, and while thorough infection testing is conducted during placenta collection and safety measures are implemented during the manufacturing process, the risk of infection transmission cannot be completely eliminated. Therefore, this medication should only be used minimally when treatment is absolutely necessary. Furthermore, the benzyl alcohol contained in this medication can cause severe respiratory problems in premature infants, so it should not be used in newborns or premature babies. Patients who are allergic to this medication, those with severe complications other than heart, liver, and kidney issues, patients with psychogenic disorders, and newborns or premature infants should not use this medication. Patients with allergic tendencies should take extra care when using this medication. If symptoms such as shock, chills, nausea, fever, or skin rash appear while using this medication, use should be stopped immediately, and appropriate treatment should be sought. Pain or redness at the injection site may occur, and rarely, breast pain or gynecomastia may develop, so medication should be discontinued if these symptoms occur. When using this medication, it is essential to adequately explain the infection risks to the patient and obtain their understanding. When used for subcutaneous injection, care should be taken to avoid areas where nerves are present, and the injection site should be carefully selected. If injections are to be repeated, the injection site should be alternated. If severe pain or blood return occurs during injection, the needle should be immediately removed and the injection should be administered at another site. This medication should only be used for subcutaneous injection.
