This medication may cause serious side effects such as gastrointestinal bleeding if taken by individuals who regularly consume more than three alcoholic beverages per day, so it is essential to consult a doctor or pharmacist. It can affect the cardiovascular system and increase the risk of myocardial infarction or stroke, so it should only be used at the lowest possible dose and for a short duration. Individuals with gastrointestinal problems may experience gastric ulcers or bleeding while taking this medication, particularly the elderly who are at higher risk. Cardiovascular symptoms such as chest pain, shortness of breath, or dizziness may occur; if these symptoms arise, immediate consultation with a medical professional is advised. Individuals with impaired liver or kidney function should closely monitor their function both before and after taking this medication, and individuals with severe liver or kidney disease should avoid using it. This medication can induce specific allergic reactions; those allergic to sulfonamides, aspirin, or other non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs should not take it. Pregnant or potentially pregnant women and nursing mothers should not take this medication, and caution is necessary for women planning to conceive. Various side effects such as gastrointestinal disturbance, headache, dizziness, skin rash, increased blood pressure, and edema may occur during treatment, so any abnormalities should be reported to healthcare providers. This medication has a high potential for drug interactions, especially when taken with antihypertensives, diuretics, anticoagulants, and antidepressants, and consultation with a healthcare professional is necessary. Regular blood tests and liver and kidney function tests are crucial while on long-term treatment to monitor health status. Dizziness or drowsiness may occur, so it is safe to avoid driving or operating machinery after taking this medication. Overdose of this medication can lead to severe symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, drowsiness, and in severe cases, renal failure or respiratory depression, thus strict adherence to prescribed dosages is essential.
