This medication may cause serious side effects like gastrointestinal bleeding if taken by individuals who regularly consume more than three glasses of alcohol per day, so consultation with a doctor or pharmacist is essential. Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), including this medication, can increase cardiovascular risks like heart attack and stroke, so people with cardiovascular diseases or risk factors should exercise particular caution. Significant gastrointestinal adverse reactions such as gastrointestinal bleeding, ulcers, and perforations may occur, particularly in the elderly or those on long-term use. Individuals with gastrointestinal ulcers or bleeding, severe blood abnormalities, liver dysfunction, kidney impairment, severe heart failure, or hypertension should not take this medication. Avoid use in individuals who have bronchial asthma or allergies to this medication’s ingredients or have hypersensitivity to NSAIDs like aspirin.

Do not exceed the recommended dosage, and it is safer not to combine it with other NSAIDs. If you are breastfeeding, you should stop nursing or discontinue the medication, as it may be passed into breast milk and cause side effects in infants. Consult with a healthcare professional before taking this medication if you have blood abnormalities, liver or kidney diseases, heart diseases, or hypertension. Taking this medication with aspirin may reduce aspirin's cardioprotective effect and increase the risk of gastrointestinal bleeding, so caution is advised. There may be interactions with certain drugs (ACE inhibitors, lithium, diuretics, methotrexate, anticoagulants, SSRIs, etc.), so consult with a healthcare provider if taking them together. If severe allergic reactions, respiratory distress, severe skin rash, liver abnormalities, blood disorders, or gastrointestinal bleeding occur while taking this medication, immediately discontinue use and consult with a medical professional.

During treatment, symptoms like hypertension, edema, and heart failure may worsen, so close monitoring of the condition is necessary.
