Particularly, those with existing cardiovascular diseases or risk factors should be more cautious, and symptoms should be closely monitored in case severe issues like myocardial infarction or stroke occur. This medicine can also cause gastrointestinal issues. Serious adverse reactions such as gastrointestinal bleeding, ulcers, or perforation may occur, with the risk being greater in the elderly. Those with previous gastrointestinal issues need to be especially careful, and any symptoms of gastrointestinal bleeding require immediate medical attention.
