During the use of this medication, serious allergic reactions similar to shock or anaphylaxis may occur rarely; if such symptoms appear, the medication should be discontinued immediately and appropriate treatment should be sought. Additionally, it may cause a decrease in white blood cells or platelets, necessitating regular blood tests. If any abnormalities are detected, discontinue use of the medication.

Breastfeeding women are advised to avoid this medication as it may be transferred to breast milk. Caution is warranted when administering this drug to children, neonates, or low birth weight infants, as safety has not been sufficiently established.
