Gastrointestinal symptoms such as abdominal pain, diarrhea, nausea, and vomiting may rarely occur.

Respiratory symptoms such as pneumonia or eosinophilia may occur, so if fever, cough, or difficulty breathing are present, administration should be stopped, and treatment should be initiated.

In the central nervous system, if the dosage is not adjusted in patients with poor kidney function, seizures or cognitive impairment may occur. Severe skin adverse reactions have been reported rarely; if any abnormal symptoms develop on the skin, administration should be stopped immediately.

During pregnancy, safety has not been established, and it should only be used when the benefits outweigh the risks. For breastfeeding mothers, it is advisable to discontinue breastfeeding.
