Precautions

This medication may rarely cause serious allergic reactions such as anaphylaxis, so the patient's condition should be closely monitored during administration. If the face becomes pale, blood pressure drops, or there are abnormal pulse changes, administration should be stopped immediately. Additionally, allergic reactions such as skin rashes may rarely occur, so it is advisable to stop the medication if these symptoms appear. Gastrointestinal effects may occur, leading to reduced appetite or rarely symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, and abdominal pain. The medication should be used immediately after reconstitution, and care should be taken to avoid nerves and blood vessels when administering intramuscularly. When administering repeatedly, it is preferable to alternate between left and right sides and avoid the same injection site, especially in children. This medicine should be stored out of the reach of children and kept tightly closed in the original container. Transferring to another container can lead to improper use or reduced quality, so the original container must always be used.
