This medication should not be used in certain patients. First, those who have allergic reactions to this medication should avoid taking it, and patients with severe myasthenia gravis, which is a serious muscle dysfunction, should not be administered this drug. Additionally, patients with a history of allergies or liver function problems should use this medication with caution.

For example, if symptoms such as skin rash, itching, swelling, or difficulty breathing arise, discontinue the medication immediately and consult a healthcare professional.
