Moreover, allergic reactions such as skin rash, urticaria, itching, flushing, and hot flashes may occur rarely.

Caution is warranted in patients with a history of hyperuricemia or gout as this medication may affect uric acid metabolism. Care must be taken when driving or operating machinery after administration.
