This drug should not be used in patients who have had allergic reactions to its ingredients. Rarely, serious allergic reactions such as shock or anaphylaxis can occur during the administration of this drug, so if symptoms arise, treatment should be discontinued immediately and appropriate care should be sought. Additionally, since white blood cell or platelet counts may decrease, blood tests should be done to monitor the condition, and if abnormalities are found, the medication should be discontinued. Liver function may be affected, so liver function tests are also necessary, and if there are symptoms of liver dysfunction or jaundice, treatment should be stopped and medical care sought. If there are hypersensitivity reactions such as skin rash or itching, it is advisable to discontinue the drug. Neurological symptoms such as dizziness, drowsiness, or numbness may occur, so caution is needed when driving or operating machinery. Gastrointestinal symptoms such as indigestion, vomiting, diarrhea, or abdominal pain may occur, and if symptoms are severe, consultation with a doctor is recommended. Women who are pregnant or may become pregnant should consult a doctor before using this drug, and it is safer to avoid breastfeeding while on this medication. Safety in children, underweight infants, and newborns has not been sufficiently confirmed, so caution is advised for use in these populations.
