This drug should not be used in patients with hypersensitivity to quinolone antibiotics. During use, shock symptoms such as nausea, cold extremities, and difficulty breathing may rarely occur, so if these symptoms manifest, discontinue use immediately and seek appropriate medical treatment. Allergic reactions can cause cardiovascular collapse, loss of consciousness, swelling around the face or neck, difficulty breathing, rashes, and itching; thus, if these symptoms appear, the medication should be stopped. Temporary burning or stinging, redness, itching, tearing, blurred vision, and other symptoms might occur in the eye, and in severe cases, it may progress to serious eye diseases such as keratitis or Stevens-Johnson syndrome, so use should be stopped immediately if unusual symptoms arise.

If pain or inflammation occurs in the shoulder, hands, or Achilles tendon, the medication should be discontinued.
