This medication should not be used in individuals with allergic reactions or severe myasthenia gravis. Patients who have previously had an allergy to this medication or have impaired liver function should use it with caution. In rare cases, serious allergic reactions may occur, showing severe skin rashes, blisters, itching, eye redness, or oral inflammation; if any of these symptoms appear, the medication should be stopped immediately and medical attention sought. Liver or kidney function may be adversely affected, so the patient's condition should be monitored closely, and if any abnormal symptoms occur, the medication should be discontinued and treatment sought. Side effects such as dizziness, headache, drowsiness, indigestion, constipation, diarrhea, abdominal pain, palpitations, swelling, and sweating may occur, so patients should consult a physician if these symptoms arise. Drowsiness, weakness, or unsteadiness may occur during administration, so reducing or discontinuing the dosage is advised in such cases. Drowsiness or decreased concentration may occur; thus, driving or operating hazardous machinery should be avoided. Care should be taken when taking this medication with other similar drugs as it may affect the eye’s ability to focus. The safety during pregnancy is not certain, so it should only be used if necessary, and nursing mothers should avoid it if possible or discontinue breastfeeding during treatment.
