Precautions

This medication should not be used by women who are pregnant or may become pregnant. This medication contains lactose, so it should not be administered to patients with genetic disorders that cause lactose intolerance. Patients at risk of bleeding or taking medications that may cause bleeding should use this medication cautiously. If any hypersensitivity reactions occur, such as skin rashes or itching, discontinue use immediately and take appropriate measures. Bleeding may rarely occur, so if bleeding symptoms arise, cease administration and monitor closely. Gastrointestinal symptoms such as diarrhea, nausea, abdominal pain, loss of appetite, and heartburn may occur, so symptoms should be monitored. Liver function abnormalities may occur, so it is advisable to regularly check for elevated liver enzymes. Symptoms such as rapid heartbeat or low blood pressure may occur, requiring careful observation of cardiovascular status. Various side effects such as headache, facial flushing, dizziness, fatigue, and edema may manifest, so it is important to monitor changes in body condition. Patients with lumbar spinal stenosis should observe changes in symptoms to determine whether to continue using this medication. Safety during pregnancy has not been established, and uterine contractions have been reported in animal studies, so women who may become pregnant should not use it. Safety in children has not been validated, therefore it is preferable to avoid use in pediatric patients. Elderly individuals may have reduced bodily functions, thus dosing should be adjusted or used with caution. Caution is advised when administering large doses to healthy adults, as it may temporarily lower blood pressure.
