This medicine should not be used in patients with a history of hypersensitivity to its components. Rarely, serious allergic reactions such as shock or anaphylaxis may occur while taking this medicine, so if unusual symptoms occur, the administration should be stopped immediately and appropriate treatment should be received. Also, blood counts should be monitored periodically as white blood cell or platelet counts may decrease, and liver function tests may be necessary due to the possibility of liver dysfunction. If symptoms of hypersensitivity such as rashes, itching, or hives appear on the skin, the medication should be discontinued. This medicine may cause neurological symptoms such as dizziness, drowsiness, or paralysis, so caution is needed when driving or operating machinery. Gastrointestinal disturbances such as dry mouth, constipation, abdominal pain, nausea, or vomiting may occur, so if symptoms are severe, consult a doctor.
