Caution in Handling Over Drug: For drugs that are dispensed in a press-through package (PTP), the patient should be instructed to remove the drug from the package prior to use. (It has been reported that, if the PTP sheet is swallowed, the sharp corners of the sheet may puncture the esophageal mucosa, causing perforation and resulting in serious complications such as mediastinitis.)
