This drug should not be used in certain patients. For example, patients who have had a serious allergic reaction to this drug or are allergic to cephalosporin antibiotics, and those with a genetic lactose intolerance should not take this medication. When using this drug, special caution is needed for some patients. Individuals with a history of allergic reactions or those who have symptoms like asthma, rash, or a tendency to easily exhibit allergic symptoms should use it carefully. Patients with severely impaired kidney function may experience increased drug concentration, thus dosage and administration intervals should be adjusted. Additionally, patients who have difficulty with oral intake, elderly patients, or those in poor health must be closely monitored for possible vitamin K deficiency symptoms. This drug may produce various side effects; thus, it should be stopped immediately if any unusual symptoms occur, and consultation with healthcare professionals is required. Rarely, severe allergic reactions or anaphylaxis, skin rashes, gastrointestinal disorders, liver or kidney function abnormalities, blood disorders, and seizures have been reported. Patients with impaired kidney function should exercise particular caution as seizures may occur. When using this drug, it is critical to administer it only for the necessary minimum duration to prevent the development of resistant bacteria, and to thoroughly inquire about allergy history. Attention is required when substituting between capsule and suspension forms due to differences in efficacy. When used with other medications, caution is needed for possible interactions. In particular, co-administration with warfarin, which controls blood coagulation, may enhance the effects, so caution is necessary. It should also be used carefully with other drugs that have nephrotoxic properties. Pregnant women or nursing mothers should only use this drug after consulting a physician since its safety has not been established; during administration, nursing should be avoided. Safety in infants, newborns, and premature infants has not been confirmed, and it is advisable not to use this medication. Elderly patients may be at higher risk for side effects due to declining bodily functions, and there is a risk of bleeding due to vitamin K deficiency, so dosage and administration intervals must be adjusted, with close observation of their condition. Care should be taken regarding urine glucose tests and blood tests as this medication may affect test results. The suspension of this medication should not be stored for more than 2 weeks after manufacturing, and the powdered form should not be mixed with milk or juice and left for extended periods. Finally, as high doses have been reported to affect reproductive functions in animal studies, do not change dosages arbitrarily; always follow the instructions of a healthcare professional.
