This medication may cause stomach bleeding in individuals who consume large amounts of alcohol daily, so it is essential to consult a doctor or pharmacist. This medication carries a risk of causing problems related to the heart and cerebral vascular system; therefore, patients with cardiovascular disease risk factors should use it with caution and take the lowest possible dose for the shortest duration. Severe gastrointestinal issues, including bleeding, ulcers, and perforations, may occur, so caution is especially necessary for those with a history of gastrointestinal diseases or the elderly. This medication should not be taken by individuals with active stomach ulcers, bleeding, known allergies to this drug or similar medications, severe heart conditions, or severely impaired kidney or liver function. Patients with weak kidney or heart function, the elderly, and asthmatic individuals should use this medication with caution, and pregnant women in the early and mid-stages of pregnancy are advised to avoid taking it. While taking this medication, dizziness or drowsiness may occur, so driving or operating hazardous machinery should be avoided. There may be interactions with other drugs, especially if taking antihypertensives, anticoagulants, diuretics, or anticancer medications, so consultation with a doctor is essential. In the late stages of pregnancy, it should never be taken as it can affect the fetus, and during pregnancy, it should be used carefully at the lowest dose and for the shortest duration. Safety in children and adolescents has not been established, so it is advisable not to use it. The elderly are at higher risk for gastrointestinal bleeding and perforation, so extra caution is needed when taking it. In case of overdose, symptoms such as gastrointestinal irritation, decreased blood pressure, respiratory depression, and convulsions may occur, requiring immediate medical attention. This medication should be stored out of reach of children, and transferring it to other containers should be avoided.
