Before using this medication, it should not be administered to patients who have experienced shock (severe allergic reactions) or have shown hypersensitivity to this medication or cephalosporin-class antibiotics.

This drug can occasionally cause various side effects, including severe allergic reactions, skin rashes, blood abnormalities, liver dysfunction, renal impairment, and gastrointestinal disturbances. Discontinue use and seek appropriate treatment immediately if symptoms appear. Particularly, rare but serious colitis, such as pseudomembranous colitis, may occur; consult a doctor immediately if abdominal pain or diarrhea worsens. To reduce the occurrence of resistant bacteria, susceptibility testing should be performed, and it is advisable to use this drug only for the essential minimum period.

Safety in neonates under one month has not been confirmed, so it is advisable not to use it in patients of this age group.
