This medication should not be used in patients with known allergies to its components. It should be used with caution in patients who have had allergies to other medications or have liver function issues or a history of liver disease. Additionally, care should be taken when administering this medication in areas with skin diseases or infections. Severe allergic reactions may occur when using this medication, so if symptoms develop, administration should be immediately discontinued and appropriate treatment should be sought. Transient pain, swelling, redness, and warmth may occur at the injection site, and rare symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, and fever may also appear.

After administration, stabilizing the injection site can be helpful, and care must be taken to prevent the medication from leaking outside the joint. Injections must be performed in a sterile condition, and if there is no effect, administration should be stopped after three doses. If there is fluid pooling in the joint, it is advisable to drain the fluid if necessary before administration. This medication must not be administered intravenously or directly into the eyes, and appropriate needles should be used. Women who are pregnant or may become pregnant should use this medication cautiously only when the benefits outweigh the risks, and it is advisable to avoid use during breastfeeding.
