This medication can pose a risk to the cardiovascular system, potentially leading to serious issues like heart attack or stroke; thus, those with cardiovascular disease or risk factors should exercise extra caution. If cardiovascular symptoms develop, medical attention should be sought immediately. It may also have gastrointestinal effects, with a risk of serious problems such as bleeding, ulceration, or perforation in the stomach or intestines, particularly heightened in older individuals. If symptoms of gastrointestinal bleeding or ulceration occur during treatment, immediate medical attention is required. Care should be taken when using this medication with other drugs. For example, co-administration with oral corticosteroids, anticoagulants, selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors, or antiplatelet medications may exacerbate side effects by increasing bleeding risk. When using injections, caution should be exercised to avoid breaking glass ampoules, ensuring no glass fragments are introduced. Special care is required, particularly when administered to children or the elderly. This medication should not be administered to individuals with a history of peptic ulcers, bleeding, or perforation, as well as those with severe liver, kidney, or heart disease, or to those who have allergies to aspirin or other non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs or have asthma.
