This drug can affect the cardiovascular system and may increase the risk of myocardial infarction and stroke. Those with heart disease or risk factors should take extra precautions. This medication can cause serious gastrointestinal issues such as gastric bleeding, ulcers, and perforations, so those with a history of gastrointestinal diseases or the elderly should use it with special caution. Allergic reactions can occur infrequently, and in severe cases, anaphylaxis or symptoms affecting the heart may occur, so if any abnormal symptoms arise, stop taking the drug immediately and consult healthcare professionals. This medication can mask symptoms of infections, so when treatment for an infection is needed, it should be used alongside appropriate antibiotics and patient conditions should be closely monitored. Individuals with certain conditions, such as peptic ulcers, severe blood dyscrasias, serious liver or kidney impairment, severe hypertension, and heart failure, should not use this medication. Those with a history of allergic reactions or asthma, urticaria, or similar conditions to this medication should also avoid using it. During the use of this medication, patients should carefully monitor for signs of side effects such as gastrointestinal bleeding, cardiovascular abnormalities, and allergic reactions, and if abnormalities occur, they should immediately inform healthcare professionals. This medication should be avoided during later stages of pregnancy as it may pose risks to both the fetus and the mother, and caution is also needed for breastfeeding, as the drug can be transmitted through breast milk and affect the baby. Children or the elderly may experience side effects more readily; therefore, it should be administered at the minimum effective dose cautiously, and children with viral infections should be particularly careful when taking it. This medication may interact with other non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs or certain medications, increasing the risk of side effects when taken together, so it must be taken only after consulting healthcare professionals.
