Precautions

Patients with severely impaired liver or kidney function should not take this medicine. Individuals allergic to any components of this medication should refrain from use. It is safest not to use this medication in children under 12 years of age. This medication contains the dye Yellow No. 4, so those with allergies or sensitivity to this ingredient should use it with caution. During use, gastrointestinal issues such as heartburn, stomach pain, nausea, and diarrhea may occur. Occasionally, mild bleeding symptoms such as gum bleeding or nosebleeds may appear. Allergic reactions such as skin rash, hives, and itching may rarely occur. Very rarely, serious allergic reactions may result in facial swelling, difficulty breathing, or a drop in blood pressure. Liver function test results may increase, and some patients may exhibit signs of liver inflammation. There have been reports of reduced platelet counts, but this may be due to other conditions. If signs of liver damage, such as jaundice, dark urine, severe abdominal pain, or loss of appetite occur during the treatment, discontinue use immediately and consult a doctor. If fever, ongoing difficulty breathing, or blood-stained sputum persists, stop taking the medication and inform healthcare professionals. Take care not to lie down while taking this medication. This medication may affect blood clotting, increasing the risk of bleeding when taken with anticoagulants.
