When taking this medication, patients with genetically reduced function of specific enzymes may experience diminished efficacy; therefore, treatment options should be discussed with a physician. Moreover, combining this drug with certain medications may alter its effects or increase the risk of bleeding, so caution is advised when co-administering. Due to the risk of bleeding, this drug should not be administered to patients with ongoing bleeding or those at high risk of bleeding, nor to patients with severe hepatic impairment or nursing women. If any symptoms of bleeding or adverse reactions occur during treatment, it is crucial to inform a doctor immediately. If surgery is planned, it is necessary to inform the physician beforehand and discontinue medication. This medication may cause various side effects such as hematological anomalies, gastrointestinal disturbances, and skin rashes, so patients should consult medical professionals if any abnormal symptoms arise.
