Additionally, patients who have a specific type of asthma known as aspirin-induced asthma or who have experienced asthma attacks in the past should be cautious, as using this medication may worsen asthma attacks.

It is recommended to avoid using this medication during the early and mid-stages of pregnancy unless absolutely necessary, and if it must be used, it should be at the lowest possible dosage for the shortest duration.
