This medication should not be used by women who are pregnant or may become pregnant. This medication contains lactose, so patients with genetic disorders that impair lactose digestion should not take it. Patients at risk of bleeding or who are taking medications that can cause bleeding should use this medication cautiously. While taking this medication, allergic reactions such as rash or itching may occur, so if such symptoms arise, it should be discontinued immediately. Bleeding symptoms may occasionally occur, thus if any abnormal symptoms arise, stop taking the medication and consult a doctor. Gastrointestinal symptoms such as diarrhea, nausea, abdominal discomfort, decreased appetite, and heartburn may occur. Liver function abnormalities may appear, so it is necessary to monitor the condition through liver function tests. Cardiovascular side effects such as rapid heartbeat, cyanosis of the extremities, and hypotension may occur. Various side effects including headache, facial flushing, dizziness, heating sensation, shaking, swelling, and anemia may present. Patients with lumbar spinal canal stenosis should carefully observe symptom changes and decide whether to continue the medication. Safety for pregnant women has not been established, and uterine contractions have been reported in animal studies, so use during pregnancy should be avoided. Safety in children has not been established, and there is no experience with use. Elderly patients may have decreased body function, so caution is needed, such as adjusting the medication dosage. Administering large amounts to healthy adults can cause temporary decreases in blood pressure, so caution is advised.
