Precautions

This medication works by binding to specific proteins and disrupting the synthesis of bacterial cell walls, thereby killing the bacteria. Before using this medication, you must inform the healthcare provider if you have ever had a severe allergic reaction or shock from this medication or similar antibiotics. Additionally, if you have had an allergic reaction to penicillin antibiotics or are prone to allergies such as asthma or hives, use this medication with caution. Special caution is needed when administering this medication to patients with very poor kidney function, elderly patients, or those in poor nutritional status, as symptoms of vitamin K deficiency may appear and close monitoring is required. Patients with a history of gastrointestinal diseases, particularly colitis, should also use this medication with caution.

In particular, if symptoms like fever, difficulty breathing, severe rashes, abdominal pain, diarrhea, or dizziness occur, discontinue the medication immediately and seek appropriate treatment.
