Precautions

This medication should not be used by women who are pregnant or may become pregnant. This medication contains lactose, so patients with genetic problems such as galactose intolerance, Lapp lactase deficiency, or glucose-galactose malabsorption should not take this medication. Patients with a tendency to bleed or those taking antiplatelet agents, thrombolytics, or anticoagulants should use this medication cautiously. Allergic reactions such as rash or itching may occur while taking this medication, so if these symptoms arise, discontinue use immediately. Bleeding may occur infrequently, so it is essential to monitor symptoms closely and stop taking the medication if there are any concerns. Digestive system side effects such as diarrhea, nausea, abdominal pain, loss of appetite, heartburn, vomiting, and abdominal distension may occur. Liver function abnormalities may occur, so it is advisable to regularly monitor liver enzymes (AST, ALT). Cardiovascular abnormalities such as palpitations, hypotension, and changes in the color of hands and feet may also occur infrequently. Headaches, facial flushing, dizziness, heat sensations, fatigue, swelling, tremors, increased body hair, and anemia may occur, so caution is needed. Patients with lumbar spinal stenosis should closely observe changes in symptoms when deciding whether to continue this medication. The effectiveness of this medication in patients with severe lumbar spinal stenosis is still uncertain. Safety during pregnancy has not been established, and uterine contraction effects have been reported in animal studies; hence women who are pregnant or may become pregnant should not take this medication. Safety for children has not been established, and there is no usage experience available. Elderly patients may have decreased body function, so dosage should be adjusted accordingly and with caution. Healthy adults taking a large dose of this medication may experience a temporary drop in blood pressure; therefore, attention is needed.
