Precautions

This medication can rarely cause a serious allergic reaction known as anaphylaxis, so if symptoms such as pale face, low blood pressure, or irregular pulse occur during administration, treatment should be stopped immediately and monitored. Additionally, rare allergic reactions such as skin rashes may occur, so it is important to stop taking the medication if such symptoms appear. Gastrointestinal complaints may occasionally include decreased appetite, nausea, vomiting, or abdominal pain, so consult healthcare professionals if these symptoms occur. This drug comes in a vial formulation and should be used immediately after preparation; when injecting intramuscularly, care should be taken to avoid nerves and blood vessels. If repeated injections are required, do not inject into the same area continuously, alternating sides instead, especially in children or small infants where extra caution is necessary. Store this medication out of reach of children, and do not transfer it to a different container as this may lead to improper use or compromise the drug's quality; keep it in its original container with the cap tightly closed.
