Precautions

This medication should be used with caution in individuals who regularly consume significant amounts of alcohol, as it may increase the risk of gastrointestinal bleeding; consultation with a physician or pharmacist is essential. This medication can increase the risk of cardiovascular or cerebrovascular diseases; therefore, patients with a history of cardiovascular disease or risk factors need careful review before starting this drug. The risk of cardiovascular side effects increases with longer dosages and duration, so the lowest effective dose should be used for the shortest possible time, and symptoms and responses should be monitored regularly during treatment. This medication can cause serious adverse reactions such as gastrointestinal bleeding, ulcers, and perforations, especially in elderly patients or those with a history of gastrointestinal disorders, hence caution is necessary. Patients with active peptic ulceration or bleeding, or with allergic reactions to this drug or similar drugs should avoid using it. Administration is prohibited for patients with specific conditions such as heart failure, severe kidney or liver impairment, pregnant women in late pregnancy, breastfeeding mothers, and patients with inflammatory bowel disease. Patients with kidney, heart, or liver issues, older adults, and those with a history of asthma should be more cautious when using this medication. It can cause various side effects such as dizziness, liver function abnormalities, skin rashes, and gastrointestinal disorders; any unusual symptoms should be reported to a healthcare professional immediately. This medication has numerous interactions with other drugs, so consultations with a physician are mandatory when taken with anticoagulants, diuretics, lithium, or anticancer agents. During pregnancy, particularly late pregnancy, it may harm the fetus, so women who are pregnant or planning to become pregnant should avoid use or follow a doctor's instructions. The safety and efficacy of this medication have not been established in children and adolescents, so its use is not recommended.
