Precautions

This drug may rarely cause severe allergic reactions such as anaphylaxis; thus, if symptoms such as pallor, low blood pressure, or abnormal heartbeats occur during use, administration should be stopped immediately and monitored. Additionally, it may rarely cause hypersensitivity symptoms such as skin rash, so treatment should be discontinued if such symptoms appear. In the gastrointestinal system, it may rarely cause symptoms such as decreased appetite, nausea, vomiting, or abdominal pain, hence caution is advised. The drug should be used immediately after dissolving the vial completely before use, and when administering intramuscularly, careful injection should be made avoiding nerves and blood vessels. If repeated injections are necessary, it is advisable to avoid the same area and alternate left and right, particularly needing more caution for children or minors. When storing, keep it in a secure location out of reach of children, and do not transfer the drug from its original container to another as this could compromise the quality or lead to misuse; therefore, always store it in the original container with the cap tightly closed.
