While taking this medication, serious allergic reactions such as shock or anaphylaxis may rarely occur, so treatment should be stopped immediately and appropriate care sought if symptoms arise. Also, as there may be a decrease in white blood cells or platelets, blood status should be monitored periodically, and if abnormalities are found, the medication should be discontinued and consultation with healthcare professionals should occur.
