Precautions

This medication can increase the risk of gastrointestinal bleeding if taken regularly by individuals who consume more than three alcoholic drinks per day, so it is essential to consult a doctor or pharmacist. This medication can increase the risk of cardiovascular diseases, so patients at risk of heart disease or stroke should be particularly cautious, and if cardiovascular symptoms appear, they should immediately seek medical attention. This medication may cause serious gastrointestinal adverse reactions such as gastrointestinal bleeding, ulcers, and perforation, so elderly patients or those with a history of gastrointestinal diseases should start with the lowest dose and report any adverse symptoms immediately. Patients with peptic ulcers, severe liver, kidney, or heart disorders, hypersensitivity to aspirin or non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, pregnant or breastfeeding women, and children and adolescents under 15 years old should not take this medication. Patients with blood disorders, liver disorders, kidney disorders, heart disorders, or a history of allergic reactions, as well as chronic respiratory disease patients and the elderly, must be observed more carefully when administered this medication. This medication can rarely cause severe allergic reactions such as shock or anaphylaxis, so if symptoms such as difficulty breathing, hives, or low blood pressure occur, administration must be stopped immediately, and treatment should be sought. Various adverse reactions such as dyspepsia, abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, headache, dizziness, liver dysfunction, reduced kidney function, skin rash, etc., can occur, so when symptoms arise, they should be reported to the medical staff. This medication may interact with other non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, anticoagulants, diuretics, and blood pressure medications, so caution is needed when taking them together, and any current medications must be disclosed to the doctor. During pregnancy, it should not be used as it poses a risk to the fetus, and during breastfeeding, it should also be avoided since it can be transmitted through breast milk and cause adverse reactions in infants. The safety of this medication has not been established in children or adolescents under 15 years old, so it should not be administered. Elderly patients have a higher risk of gastrointestinal bleeding, so they should start with the lowest dose and monitor for symptoms of gastrointestinal bleeding carefully. In case of overdose, symptoms such as headache, vomiting, gastrointestinal bleeding, and coma may occur, and immediate treatment should be sought at a medical facility. This medication must be kept out of reach of children, and transferring it to other containers is not advised as it may compromise its quality.
