If severe muscle pain or muscle weakness occurs, you must inform your doctor immediately, and this medication may need to be discontinued. Particularly, in cases of severe infection, hypotension, or post-major surgery, the use of this medication should be temporarily halted or discontinued due to the potential risk of renal problems.
