This drug is provided in vial form, and it should be used immediately after reconstitution and should not be stored. When administering an intramuscular injection, care should be taken to avoid nerves or blood vessels, and if repeated administration is necessary, it is advisable to change the injection sites. Special care is needed when administering to children or adolescents. This drug should be kept out of reach of children, and it should not be transferred to a different container from the original.
