Precautions concerning the dispensing of the drug: In the case of a press-through package (PTP), the patient should be instructed to remove the drug from the package prior to use. If a PTP sheet is mistakenly swallowed, the sharp comers of the sheet may puncture the esophageal mucosa and thereby cause perforation, leading to serious complications such as mediastinitis.
