This medication should not be used in patients with allergic reactions or those with myasthenia gravis. Patients with a history of drug hypersensitivity or impaired liver function should exercise caution when using this medication. Rarely, serious allergic reactions or severe skin reactions may occur, so if symptoms such as redness, itching, hives, difficulty breathing, fever, blisters, or conjunctival injection appear, discontinue use immediately and consult a healthcare professional. During treatment with this medication, side effects such as dizziness, headache, drowsiness, dyspepsia, nausea, constipation, and abdominal pain may occur, so it is important to monitor the condition closely. If symptoms of fatigue, staggering, or drowsiness occur during use, it may be necessary to reduce or discontinue the dosage of the medication. This medication can cause drowsiness or decreased concentration, so it is advisable to avoid driving or operating hazardous machinery. When used in conjunction with other muscle relaxants, the risk of side effects may increase, so it is necessary to inform healthcare providers of any other medications being taken. For women who are pregnant or may become pregnant, the use of this medication may not be safe, and the benefits versus risks of treatment should be carefully considered. For breastfeeding individuals, it is advisable to avoid this medication; if it must be used, stopping breastfeeding is recommended.
