This medication carries a risk of seizures; therefore, it should not be administered to patients with a history of seizures or taking other medications that increase seizure risk. In patients with impaired liver or kidney function, the metabolism and excretion of this medication may be affected, so dosage adjustments and careful monitoring are necessary. For patients with cardiovascular diseases, caution is warranted as the safety of this medication has not been fully established.
