Precautions

This medication can rarely cause severe allergic reactions such as anaphylaxis; therefore, if facial pallor, decreased blood pressure, or irregular pulse occurs during use, administration should be stopped immediately and monitoring should be initiated. Additionally, allergic reactions such as skin rashes can occur rarely, so it is important to discontinue the drug if such symptoms appear. Gastrointestinal symptoms such as loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting, and abdominal pain may occur rarely; if these symptoms persist, it is essential to consult a healthcare professional. As this medication is in vial form, it should be used immediately after preparation, and attention should be paid to avoid storage or reuse. When administering an intramuscular injection, care must be taken to avoid nerves or blood vessels, and if repeated doses are required, the injection site should be changed to avoid using the same site continually. Extra care is particularly necessary when administering to children or minors. During storage, it should be kept in a location out of reach of children, and transferring the medication from its original container to another can lead to misuse or degradation of quality; it must be kept in its original container securely closed.
