Before taking this medication, individuals who regularly consume more than three alcoholic beverages a day should consult their physician or pharmacist, as it may increase the risk of gastrointestinal bleeding. Persons with cardiovascular diseases or risk factors should consult their physician before taking this medication, as there may be a risk of serious cardiovascular problems such as myocardial infarction or stroke. Since this medication can pose a serious risk of ulcers, bleeding, or perforation in the gastrointestinal tract, especially elderly patients or those with a history of gastrointestinal disorders should use it with caution and seek immediate treatment if any unusual symptoms occur. Certain patients, such as those with peptic ulcers, severe blood disorders, liver or kidney impairment, heart failure, pregnant women in late pregnancy, and nursing mothers should not take this medication. Patients with a history of peptic ulcers or adverse reactions to non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs should exercise increased caution when taking this medication and monitor their condition as directed by their physician. If symptoms such as skin rash, itching, difficulty breathing, or low blood pressure occur during use, stop taking the medication immediately and inform medical personnel. If gastrointestinal symptoms such as abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, or blood in stools appear, discontinue use immediately and seek treatment, as severe cases may lead to shock. Neurological symptoms such as dizziness, drowsiness, and headaches may rarely occur, so caution is advised when driving or operating machinery. Long-term use may affect liver or kidney function, so regular blood tests and liver/kidney function tests should be conducted. Do not take this medication concurrently with other non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and be aware that interactions may occur with certain blood pressure medications, anticoagulants, antibiotics, etc., so inform your physician of any medications you are currently using. Caution should also be exercised when administering during early and middle pregnancy, and it should not be taken in late pregnancy due to potential adverse effects on fetal health. Safety in children has not been established, and use is not recommended. Elderly patients are at higher risk for side effects and should be particularly cautious. This medication should be used at the lowest effective dose for the shortest duration necessary, and consult your physician immediately if any unusual symptoms occur.
