While platelet counts may decrease during this medication, this could also be due to other underlying conditions. If symptoms of liver damage present such as jaundice, changes in urine color, severe abdominal pain, or loss of appetite occur, the medication should be stopped immediately and a doctor should be consulted. If symptoms do not improve within one week of taking this medication, or if symptoms such as fever, difficulty breathing, or blood-streaked sputum persist, the medication should be discontinued and healthcare professionals should be notified.

As of now, no specific interactions with other medications have been reported, however, since it may affect blood clotting, patients taking anticoagulants should consult their doctor.
