Extra caution is necessary when using it for children or the elderly. This medication should never be used if there is an allergy to it or its components. Patients with a history of drug allergies should use it cautiously. Serious adverse reactions such as shock may occur rarely during use, and if symptoms such as a drop in blood pressure, chest pain, or shortness of breath appear, administration should be stopped immediately and healthcare personnel notified. Additionally, allergic reactions such as skin rash, nausea, vomiting, oral inflammation, diarrhea, headache, and frequent urination may occur rarely, and if symptoms occur, administration should be discontinued. When administering the injection, it is advisable to inject as slowly as possible to reduce vascular pain. Also, care must be taken not to reuse the injection once it has been used. When opening the ampoule, the mark should face upwards, and the bottom should be gently pressed to break it cleanly, ensuring that foreign substances do not mix, and the ampoule opening should be wiped with an alcohol swab.
