This medication should not be used in patients with allergic reactions or severe muscle weakness symptoms. Additionally, since this medication contains lactose, it should not be given to patients who have lactase deficiency or genetically predisposed digestive disorders. Caution is required in administering this medication to patients with a history of drug allergic reactions or liver function issues, as it may worsen liver function. Serious allergic reactions, such as shock, can rarely occur, so the patient's condition must be closely monitored during administration, and if any unusual symptoms arise, administration should be stopped immediately.
