Adult dosage

Precautions

This medication may rarely cause a serious allergic reaction known as anaphylaxis, so the patient's condition must be carefully monitored during administration. If symptoms such as facial pallor, decreased blood pressure, or irregular pulse appear, administration should be stopped immediately. Additionally, hypersensitivity reactions such as skin rashes may occur, so it is safe to discontinue the drug if such symptoms are observed. Gastrointestinal symptoms such as decreased appetite, nausea, vomiting, and abdominal pain may occur, so these symptoms should also be monitored closely. When preparing the medication, the vial contents should be used immediately after dissolving, as the efficacy may decrease over time; therefore, immediate administration is crucial. When administering an intramuscular injection, care must be taken to avoid nerves or blood vessels in selecting the injection site, and if multiple injections are required, the site should be alternated instead of repeating the same area. Special care must be taken when managing the injection site in children. The medication should be stored in a safe place out of reach of children, and transferring it to another container from its original one may lead to misuse or degradation of quality, so it must be kept in its original container with the lid tightly closed.
