This medication should not be used in patients who have had allergic reactions to any of its components. While taking this medication, serious allergic reactions such as shock or anaphylaxis may rarely occur. If symptoms appear, discontinue use immediately and seek medical assistance. It is also important to monitor blood counts periodically as there is a possibility of decreased white blood cells or platelets. In cases where liver function may be affected, if liver enzyme levels rise or jaundice symptoms appear, discontinue administration and seek appropriate treatment. Skin allergic reactions such as hives, rashes, or itching can occur; halt medication use if these symptoms appear. Neurotoxic symptoms such as dizziness, drowsiness, or numbness may arise; caution is advised when driving or operating machinery. Gastrointestinal symptoms such as dry mouth, constipation, abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea may occur; if symptoms are severe, consult medical personnel. Women who are pregnant or may become pregnant should only use this medication if the benefits of treatment are deemed to outweigh the risks, as its safety is not well established during pregnancy. Nursing mothers should avoid this medication, as it may be transmitted through breast milk. Caution should be exercised when using this medication in children, especially low birth weight infants or newborns, as its safety has not been sufficiently confirmed. Elderly patients may have reduced bodily functions, so they should pay special attention to side effects such as gastrointestinal symptoms.
