Precautions

This medication may cause gastrointestinal bleeding in individuals who consume more than three alcoholic beverages daily, so it is essential to consult with a doctor or pharmacist. As a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug, it may increase the risk of cardiovascular disease; therefore, individuals with heart disease or risk factors should be closely monitored. Severe gastrointestinal problems such as gastrointestinal bleeding, ulcers, and perforation can occur; thus, individuals with a history of gastrointestinal issues or the elderly should be particularly cautious. Allergic reactions may appear suddenly, and in severe cases, life-threatening anaphylaxis may occur, necessitating immediate medical attention. This medication can mask symptoms of infections, so it should be used in conjunction with other medications for infection treatment, and patients should be closely monitored. Individuals with peptic ulcers, severe blood disorders, liver dysfunction, kidney impairment, hypertension, or heart failure should refrain from taking this medication. Those with a history of gastrointestinal disorders, blood abnormalities, liver or kidney issues, hypertension, heart failure, or autoimmune diseases should take this medication with caution. If symptoms such as skin rash, difficulty breathing, severe headache, or gastrointestinal bleeding occur, usage should be stopped immediately and healthcare professionals should be consulted. This medication should be used at the minimum dosage and for the shortest duration possible, and it is advisable not to use it for fever reduction alone. Regular blood tests and liver and kidney function checks should be conducted during long-term use to confirm any abnormalities. It may pose risks to the fetus and mother during pregnancy, especially in the later stages; therefore, pregnant women should avoid using it, and caution is also necessary while breastfeeding. Special attention is needed when administrating to children, the elderly, or those with chronic conditions. In case of overdose, supportive treatment such as inducing vomiting or gastric lavage is necessary, and since there is no specific antidote, caution is advised. It is desirable to take the medication with sufficient water to ensure it does not remain in the esophagus, and it should not be chewed and should be taken before meals. There are many interactions with other medications, so if taking other medications, be sure to inform and consult with healthcare professionals.
