This medication should not be administered to patients with a history of hypersensitivity to its components. During the use of this medication, severe allergic reactions such as shock or anaphylaxis may rarely occur. If any abnormal symptoms appear, treatment should be discontinued immediately and appropriate medical care should be sought. White blood cell or platelet counts may decrease, so the condition should be periodically checked through blood tests. Liver function may be affected, and if symptoms of liver enzyme elevation or jaundice appear, treatment should be stopped immediately. Skin hypersensitivity reactions such as hives, rashes, and itching may occur, so medication should be discontinued if these symptoms arise. Neurological symptoms such as dizziness, drowsiness, or numbness may occur; caution is advised when driving or operating machinery. Gastrointestinal symptoms such as dry mouth, constipation, abdominal pain, or vomiting may occur, and if symptoms are severe, a consultation with a doctor should be sought. Women who are pregnant or may become pregnant should only take this medication when the benefits of treatment outweigh any risks, as its safety has not been established. Breastfeeding women should avoid this medication as it may be excreted in breast milk. Use in children, especially low-birth-weight infants or neonates, should be approached with caution as safety has not been fully established. Elderly patients may be more sensitive to side effects such as gastrointestinal symptoms due to decreased body functions, so close monitoring is needed.
