Precautions

This medication should never be used in women who are pregnant or may become pregnant. This medication contains lactose, so patients with genetic disorders that prevent lactose digestion should not take it. Patients with a tendency to bleed or who are taking medications that can cause bleeding should be particularly cautious when using this medication. Allergic reactions such as rash or itching may occur during the use of this drug, so if these symptoms appear, treatment should be stopped immediately. Bleeding may occur rarely; if bleeding symptoms appear, stop taking the drug immediately and consult medical personnel. Gastrointestinal symptoms may include diarrhea, nausea, abdominal pain, loss of appetite, and heartburn. Liver function abnormalities may occur, so regular monitoring such as liver function tests is required. Symptoms such as rapid heartbeat or low blood pressure may occur rarely, so caution should be exercised. Headache, facial flushing, dizziness, and hot flashes may occur, and in severe cases, consultation with medical personnel is recommended. Patients with lumbar spinal stenosis should carefully observe changes in symptoms and decide whether to continue taking this medication. This medication may not be effective in cases where spinal stenosis is severe and requires surgery. Safety during pregnancy has not been confirmed, and uterine contractions have been reported in animal experiments, so it is not used in pregnant women. Safety in children has not been established, and there is no experience of use. Elderly patients may have decreased physical function, so dosage adjustments may be necessary. Administration of large amounts to healthy adults may temporarily lower blood pressure, so caution is required.
