There are also patients who need to be cautious when using this medication. Those with allergies to cephalosporin antibiotics, individuals with allergic predispositions, patients with very poor kidney function, the elderly, and those in poor general condition should exercise caution when taking this medication. In particular, if kidney function is weak, the interval between drug administration should be extended, and observation is needed as vitamin K deficiency symptoms may appear. This medication can cause various side effects, so if symptoms such as discomfort, rash, fever, abdominal pain, diarrhea, dizziness, or skin rash occur during use, it is essential to stop taking the medication immediately and consult a doctor. Rarely, serious allergic reactions or abnormalities in liver or kidney function, or blood abnormalities may occur, necessitating regular observation. When using this medication, sensitivity testing should be performed to prevent the emergence of resistant bacteria, and it is recommended to administer it only for the necessary duration.

Women who are pregnant or breastfeeding should consult a doctor before taking this medication, as its safety has not been fully established. Safety for children or neonates, especially for low birth weight infants, has not been established, so special caution is required. Elderly patients may experience side effects more easily due to decreased physical function, and there is a risk of bleeding due to vitamin K deficiency, so dosage adjustments and monitoring of their condition are important.
