In patients with severely decreased renal function, the decision to administer should be made after checking the condition through blood tests and fluid balance evaluation. Women who are pregnant or of childbearing potential should carefully consider the risks and benefits of administering this medication and should avoid it while breastfeeding or discontinue breastfeeding if necessary. Safety in children has not been sufficiently established, and elderly individuals should have their dosing rate slowed and doses adjusted due to decreased bodily functions.
