- Cautions for use
-
- If you change the dosing period at your own discretion, it may cause the growth of resistant bacteria (bacteria that do not respond to antibiotics), so you should take it for a set number of days.
- Since impaired consciousness and other symptoms may occur, patients should refrain from driving, operating hazardous machinery, and working at heights after taking the drug.
- Since it is not possible to determine from external appearance alone whether the bacteria remain in the body, the patient should always be re-examined after the treatment period.
