This medication may increase the risk of cardiovascular disease and significant cardiovascular issues such as myocardial infarction or stroke may occur. Patients with risk factors for cardiovascular disease, such as hypertension, diabetes, or smoking, should be administered this medication with caution, using the lowest effective dose for the shortest duration. There is a risk of gastrointestinal bleeding, ulcers, and perforations, making it especially important to exercise caution with elderly patients or those with a history of gastrointestinal illnesses. If gastrointestinal symptoms develop, immediate medical evaluation and treatment are required. Patients with a history of active peptic ulcers or bleeding, allergies to this drug or similar drugs, severe heart failure, women in late pregnancy, or nursing mothers should not use this medication. Patients with renal or liver function issues, elderly patients, asthmatics, or hypertensive patients should use this medication carefully and require regular monitoring during treatment.

During pregnancy, especially in the late stage, it may pose risks to the fetus, so women who are pregnant or planning to become pregnant should avoid taking this drug, and nursing mothers should discontinue breastfeeding or stop using this drug if taking it. There are many drug interactions, so those taking digoxin, anticoagulants, diuretics, or antihypertensives must consult with their doctor, particularly because concomitant use with aspirin may increase the risk of gastrointestinal bleeding.
