This drug should not be used in patients who have shown hypersensitivity to its components. Serious allergic reactions such as shock or anaphylaxis may occur during administration, so if symptoms appear, immediately stop using the medication and seek appropriate treatment. Leukocyte or platelet counts may decrease, so blood conditions should be monitored periodically, and if abnormalities are found, the medication should be discontinued. There may be issues with liver function, so attention should be paid to liver enzyme levels or jaundice symptoms, and if any abnormal symptoms occur, treatment should be stopped. Skin allergic reactions such as hives, rashes, and itching may occur, so if such symptoms arise, the medication should be discontinued. Caution is needed as neurological symptoms such as dizziness, drowsiness, or numbness may occur. Gastrointestinal symptoms such as dry mouth, constipation, abdominal pain, diarrhea, nausea, and vomiting may occur, so symptoms should be monitored. If liver enzyme levels rise abnormally or symptoms like fever or rash occur together, immediately discontinue use. Regular blood tests are necessary as changes in leukocyte or platelet counts may occur. Various side effects such as breast pain or gynecomastia, palpitations, fever, facial flushing, tongue numbness, coughing, breathing difficulties, hair loss, and menstrual irregularities may occur rarely. Women who are pregnant or may become pregnant should carefully weigh the risks and benefits of using this drug, and if breastfeeding, it is advisable to avoid use as the drug may be transmitted through breast milk. Safety for children, especially low birth weight infants, neonates, and infants has not been fully confirmed, so caution is necessary. Elderly patients have similar side effect risks as the general adult population but should be more cautious of gastrointestinal symptoms due to decreased physical function. This medication should be stored out of reach of children, and transferring the medication to other containers should be avoided as this may cause accidents or reduce the quality of the drug.
