Gastrointestinal side effects such as loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting, and abdominal pain may occur infrequently, so patients should consult healthcare professionals if these symptoms arise. This medication is in vial form and must be used immediately after dissolution, as the effectiveness of the medication may vary depending on storage conditions. Careful injection avoiding nerves or blood vessels is necessary when administering intramuscularly, and the injection site should be changed if administered repeatedly. Special attention should be given when administering to children or minors.
