This medication should not be used in patients who have shown allergic reactions to its components. Serious allergic reactions such as shock or anaphylaxis may occur rarely during use, so if such symptoms appear, discontinue use immediately and inform a healthcare professional. It is also important to periodically monitor blood conditions, as leukocyte or platelet counts may decrease. Liver function tests are necessary as liver function abnormalities may occur, and if signs of liver dysfunction or jaundice appear, medication should be discontinued. Hypersensitivity reactions such as rashes, hives, and itching may occur on the skin, so if these symptoms appear, use should be stopped. This medication may cause neurological symptoms such as dizziness, drowsiness, or numbness, so caution is needed when driving or operating machinery. Gastrointestinal symptoms such as dry mouth, constipation, abdominal pain, vomiting, and diarrhea may occur, so if discomfort persists, consult a physician. Women who are pregnant or may become pregnant should only use this medication after sufficient consultation with a physician as its use may not be safe. Breastfeeding women should avoid this medication as it may be transferred through breast milk. The safety of this medication in children, especially low birth weight infants or neonates, has not been established, so it should be used with caution.
