This medication should not be used in patients with a history of specific allergic reactions or shock. Moreover, as it contains lactose, patients with lactose intolerance or related genetic disorders should not take this medication.

Patients with allergic tendencies or those who frequently experience symptoms such as bronchial asthma or skin rashes should be careful. Patients with severely impaired kidney function may have delayed excretion of this medication, requiring dose adjustment and monitoring. Patients who have difficulty taking medication orally, elderly patients, and patients with poor overall health status should be closely monitored due to the potential for vitamin K deficiency symptoms. This medication can rarely cause severe allergic reactions or shock, so if symptoms such as discomfort, dizziness, or sweating occur during administration, it should be stopped immediately. If hypersensitivity reactions such as skin rashes, hives, itching, or fever occur, administration should cease and appropriate treatment obtained. Gastrointestinal symptoms such as abdominal pain, diarrhea, or vomiting may occur, especially if severe colitis symptoms appear, in which case intake should be stopped immediately. If symptoms like respiratory distress, cough, or pneumonia occur, administration should be stopped immediately and treatment should be initiated. Blood tests may show variations in blood cell counts, so regular testing is necessary for long-term use. There have been reports of neurological symptoms or seizures, so patients with reduced kidney function should have their doses adjusted. Serious skin adverse reactions may occur which necessitate regular checks of the skin condition, and if abnormal signs are observed, administration should be discontinued. Liver and kidney function may be affected, so regular tests are necessary. Imbalances may occur, such as oral candidiasis or other fungal infections, though these are rare. Vitamin K and B deficiency symptoms may appear, and appropriate measures should be taken if symptoms arise. When using this medication, it is advisable to administer it for the minimum necessary duration to prevent the development of resistant bacteria. Thorough medical history taking and skin reaction testing are recommended before administration. Dizziness may occur; therefore, caution is needed when driving or operating machinery. For administration exceeding 10 days, it is vital to perform blood tests to check for neutropenia. Patients with reduced kidney function should be cautioned that without dose adjustments, seizures may occur. Concurrent use with other medications may affect kidney function, thus consulting a doctor is important. Safety during pregnancy has not been established; therefore, pregnant women should use it with caution, and it is advisable for breastfeeding women to discontinue nursing. Safety for children and neonates has not been adequately verified, necessitating special caution. Elderly patients may have decreased physiological function and a tendency to bleed, making dose adjustments and condition monitoring essential.
