Precautions

This medication should be consulted with a doctor or pharmacist if you regularly consume more than three glasses of alcohol daily, as it may cause gastrointestinal bleeding. This medication can pose risks to the cardiovascular system, and patients at risk for heart disease or stroke should be particularly cautious and regularly monitor for cardiovascular symptoms. Serious adverse reactions such as gastrointestinal bleeding, ulcers, or perforations may occur, so elderly patients or those with a history of gastrointestinal disorders should use it with utmost care. This medication can cause allergic reactions; therefore, those who have previously experienced allergies to similar drugs should avoid its use. As it may mask inflammatory symptoms, using this medication could delay the diagnosis of infectious complications, so it should be used with appropriate antibiotics if infection is suspected. Certain patient groups, such as those with peptic ulcers, gastrointestinal bleeding, severe liver dysfunction, kidney dysfunction, heart failure, hypertension, allergy history, pregnant or breastfeeding women, and children, should not be administered this medication. Patients with blood disorders or bleeding tendencies, liver dysfunction, kidney dysfunction, hypertension, heart failure, asthma, or autoimmune diseases should use this medication with caution, and especially elderly patients should start with a low dose and monitor closely for adverse reactions. This medication may cause a variety of side effects, and if symptoms such as shock, gastrointestinal symptoms, blood abnormalities, skin rash, liver dysfunction, kidney dysfunction, hypersensitivity, neurological issues, cardiovascular problems, or respiratory issues occur, it should be discontinued immediately and medical advice should be sought. This medication should be used at the minimum necessary dose and for the shortest duration, and regular blood tests and liver/kidney function tests should be conducted if used long-term. Interactions may occur when used in conjunction with other anti-inflammatory analgesics, corticosteroids, diuretics, anticoagulants, lithium, methotrexate, digoxin, etc., so it should be taken only after consulting a specialist. During pregnancy, especially in the later stages, it may pose risks to the fetus, so women of childbearing potential should use it cautiously, and elderly patients should start with a low dose and pay attention to adverse reactions. When taking, consume with adequate water, and taking it after meals can reduce gastrointestinal discomfort; it should not be chewed or taken on an empty stomach. In case of overdose, appropriate emergency measures such as vomiting or gastric lavage should be obtained, as no specific antidote exists, requiring prompt treatment. This medication should be kept out of the reach of children and should not be transferred to other containers.
