Accordingly, this medication should only be used minimally when necessary. Additionally, this medication contains benzyl alcohol, which can cause fatal respiratory problems, especially in premature infants or newborns, so it should not be administered to them.

Patients with allergic tendencies should exercise extra caution when using this medication, and if any adverse reactions occur, they should stop administration immediately and receive appropriate treatment. Pain or redness may occur at the injection site, and rarely, symptoms such as gynecomastia or mastalgia may appear; if these symptoms occur, use should be discontinued. When administering this medication, it is essential to thoroughly explain the infection risk issues to the patient and secure their understanding. Injections should be performed carefully, avoiding areas where nerves are present, and when injecting repeatedly, the injection site should be changed.
