Precautions

This medication is not recommended for use in pregnant or nursing women. Patients with a tendency for bleeding or those taking anticoagulants should not take this medication. Patients with severely impaired liver or kidney function should also avoid this medication. Those with known allergic reactions to any components of this medication should refrain from its use. Furthermore, this medication may not be suitable for patients with lactose intolerance or certain genetic metabolic disorders. Children under 12 years old should not use this medication. Gastrointestinal disturbances such as abdominal pain, heartburn, nausea, and diarrhea may occur while taking this medication. Rarely, bleeding symptoms such as gum bleeding or nosebleeds may occur. Allergic reactions can manifest as itching, skin rash, or hives. In very rare cases, severe allergic reactions such as facial swelling, respiratory difficulties, or a drop in blood pressure may occur, so caution is advised. Liver function test results may increase, and in some patients, liver diseases such as hepatitis may develop. A decrease in platelet counts has also been reported, but this may be due to other conditions. If symptoms of liver damage such as jaundice, dark urine, severe abdominal pain, or loss of appetite occur during treatment, discontinue use immediately. If symptoms do not improve within a week or if symptoms such as fever, difficulty breathing, or blood-tinged sputum persist, stop taking the medication and consult a physician. It is advised to swallow the tablets in an upright position without lying down. No reports exist regarding interactions with other medications; however, it may affect blood coagulation and should be used cautiously if taken with certain anticoagulants. The safety of this medication has not been established in pregnant or nursing women, so avoidance is preferable. In case of overdose, adverse reactions may be exacerbated; if the dosage is exceeded, please consult a doctor immediately. Store this medication out of reach of children, and transferring to another container may lead to accidents or degradation of quality.
