This medication can cause serious adverse effects such as tendinitis, tendon rupture, peripheral neuropathy, central nervous system disorders, and exacerbation of myasthenia gravis, therefore caution is warranted. If any of these symptoms occur, immediately discontinue the use of this medication, and do not take any drugs from the same class again. Patients with myasthenia gravis should not take this medication, as it can worsen their symptoms. This medication is used restrictively for specific infections such as acute bacterial sinusitis, acute exacerbation of chronic bronchitis, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, simple urinary tract infections, and acute otitis media. In elderly patients, those with impaired kidney function, and those taking corticosteroids simultaneously, the risk of tendinitis and tendon rupture increases, so it should be avoided. If symptoms of pain, inflammation, or tendon rupture occur, immediately discontinue the medication and avoid physical activity.

During treatment, avoid exposure to sunlight or artificial ultraviolet light and discontinue immediately if photosensitivity reactions occur. Patients with diabetes who require blood sugar control should carefully monitor their blood sugar levels, and appropriate measures should be taken if hypoglycemia or hyperglycemia symptoms occur.

Regular monitoring of liver function, kidney function, and blood tests is necessary to check for abnormalities during treatment.

This medication should only be taken under a doctor's direction and for the appropriate duration and dosage; in case of overdose, notify medical personnel immediately.
