Also, since white blood cell or platelet counts may decrease, blood status should be monitored periodically, and if abnormalities are found, administration should be discontinued.

Breastfeeding women should avoid nursing as this medicine can be transmitted through breast milk. Caution is necessary for children, particularly low birth weight infants, newborns, and infants, as safety has not been adequately confirmed.
