This medication should not be used by women who are pregnant or may become pregnant. This medication contains lactose, and individuals with genetic disorders that affect lactose digestion should not take it. Patients at risk of bleeding or taking blood-thinning medications should use this drug cautiously. Allergic reactions such as skin rash or itching may occur, so if these symptoms arise, discontinue use immediately. Bleeding may rarely occur; if bleeding symptoms manifest, stop taking the medication and consult a healthcare professional. Gastrointestinal discomfort may occur, including diarrhea, nausea, abdominal pain, decreased appetite, and heartburn. Liver function may be adversely affected; if liver enzyme levels become abnormal, inform a healthcare professional. Be cautious as increased heart rate, rarely, bluish discoloration of the extremities, or low blood pressure may occur. Headaches, facial flushing, dizziness, warmth sensation, fatigue, swelling, tremors, increased body hair in the legs, and anemia may occur. Patients with lumbar spinal stenosis should monitor symptom changes and decide whether to continue use. This drug has not been proven effective in severe cases of spinal stenosis requiring surgery. Safety during pregnancy has not been established; therefore, pregnant women should not take this medication. Animal studies have reported uterine contractions, posing risks to pregnant women. There is insufficient safety data for children, and there is no experience using it in this population. Elderly patients may experience decreased physical function, so dosage should be adjusted accordingly. Healthy adults taking a large amount may experience a temporary drop in blood pressure, so caution is necessary.
