Precautions

This medication should not be used by women who are pregnant or may become pregnant. This medication contains lactose, and should not be administered to patients with genetic disorders that prevent lactose digestion. Caution should be exercised when administering this medication to patients with a tendency to bleed or those taking medications that may cause bleeding. During the use of this medication, allergic reactions such as rash or itching may occur, and it is important to stop using it immediately if such symptoms appear. Bleeding can occur rarely, so if signs of bleeding are observed, administration should be stopped and medical consultation should be obtained. Gastrointestinal disturbances such as diarrhea, nausea, and abdominal discomfort may occur, so symptoms should be monitored. Liver function test values may increase, so it is necessary to periodically check liver health. Rare symptoms such as increased heart rate or decreased blood pressure may occur, so caution is advised. Various side effects such as headache, facial flushing, dizziness, and tremors may occur, so any abnormal symptoms should be reported. For patients with lumbar spinal stenosis, it is important to closely monitor symptoms to decide whether to continue use, as severe cases may require surgery. Safety during pregnancy has not been established and uterine contraction effects have been reported in animal studies, thus pregnant individuals should strictly avoid this medication. Safety for pediatric use has not been confirmed, so it is advisable not to use it in children. Elderly patients may have decreased physiological functions, so special attention should be given to dosage adjustments. In healthy adults, administering a large amount may temporarily lower blood pressure, so caution is advised.
