Patients with genetic galactose intolerance, lactase deficiency, or glucose-galactose malabsorption should not take this medication.

In severe cases, serious allergic reactions such as facial swelling, difficulty breathing, and decreased blood pressure may occur, necessitating immediate consultation with a healthcare professional. Liver dysfunction may occur, so if signs of liver damage such as jaundice, dark urine, upper abdominal pain, or loss of appetite appear, the medication should be discontinued. Since platelet counts may decrease during use, monitoring for any unusual symptoms is necessary. If conditions do not improve within a week, or if symptoms such as fever, difficulty breathing, and blood-stained sputum persist, discontinue use and consult a physician. Take care not to swallow the tablet while lying down. No reports of drug interactions with this medication exist; however, caution is advised when taken with anticoagulants as it may influence blood coagulation.
