Precautions

This medication can rarely cause serious allergic reactions such as anaphylaxis, so the patient's condition should be closely monitored during administration. If symptoms such as facial paleness, decreased blood pressure, or irregular pulse occur, administration should be stopped immediately. It is also important to discontinue use if skin reactions such as rashes occur. Gastrointestinal side effects may include decreased appetite, nausea, vomiting, or abdominal pain, and patients should consult healthcare professionals if these symptoms occur. This medication should be used immediately after dissolution, and care should be taken to avoid nerves or blood vessels when administering an intramuscular injection. When administering multiple times, it is advisable to avoid the same injection site and alternate sides, especially in children or young patients, who require more attention. Store in a secure place out of reach of children, and transferring the medication to other containers can lead to misuse or decrease in quality, so it must be stored in the original container with the lid tightly closed.
