This medication is in an ampoule form, thus care must be taken when cutting the glass vial for use. Glass fragments may mix with the injection solution, so particular caution must be exercised when administering to children or the elderly. After using this medication, symptoms such as decreased appetite, nausea, and diarrhea may occur. Additionally, rash, headache, dizziness, and palpitations may also occur, so any abnormal symptoms should be monitored.
