Precautions

This medication should not be used in patients who have had an allergic reaction to this drug or any of its components. Exercise caution when administering to patients who are taking other serotonergic medications, such as selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) or serotonin-norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors (SNRIs), as this may lead to a serious side effect known as serotonin syndrome, and careful monitoring is required. Serious allergic reactions such as shock or anaphylaxis may occur when using this medication; if unusual symptoms arise, administration should be stopped immediately and appropriate treatment should be sought. Additionally, seizures similar to epilepsy may rarely occur, so if neurological symptoms arise, consult medical personnel immediately. Side effects such as headache, diarrhea, constipation, and liver function abnormalities have been reported; if these symptoms persist or worsen, consult a doctor. Safety during pregnancy has not been sufficiently established, so it should be used cautiously under a doctor's supervision only when necessary, and breastfeeding should be discontinued during use. Safety in children has not been established; thus, special care is needed when administering to children. Elderly patients may have decreased body function, so careful observation is necessary during administration, and immediate action should be taken if side effects occur. This medication may alter compatibility when mixed with certain injection solutions; therefore, caution should be exercised during preparation, and mixing with some injection solutions should be avoided. Finally, animal studies have reported potential risks to the fetus, so women of childbearing potential should consider this when using the drug.
