The medication is generally not administered to children under 2 years of age, and if absolutely necessary, medical consultation is recommended. If symptoms such as rash, vomiting, dizziness, or urinary difficulties arise during treatment, or if symptoms do not improve after 5 to 6 doses, discontinue use immediately and consult a specialist.
