Precautions

This medication should not be used in pregnant women or women who may become pregnant. Additionally, this medication contains lactose and should not be administered to patients with lactose intolerance or specific genetic disorders. Caution is required for patients with a tendency to bleed or those taking antiplatelet agents, thrombolytics, or anticoagulants. Using this medication may cause allergic reactions, such as rash or itching, so it should be discontinued immediately if these symptoms occur. Bleeding may occur rarely; therefore, symptoms of bleeding during use should be carefully monitored, and administration should be stopped if necessary. Gastrointestinal symptoms such as diarrhea, nausea, abdominal discomfort, abdominal pain, loss of appetite, and heartburn may occur, and vomiting or abdominal distension may rarely occur. Liver function abnormalities may appear, so caution is required if liver enzyme levels increase. Increased heart rate or, rarely, cyanosis of hands and feet or low blood pressure may occur; inform your doctor if these symptoms are present. Symptoms such as headache, facial flushing, dizziness, and hot flashes may occur, and rarely fatigue, edema, breast pain, tremors, hirsutism, and anemia may occur. Patients with lumbar spinal stenosis should observe changes in symptoms and decide whether to continue use; surgery may be necessary in severe cases. Safety during pregnancy has not been established; therefore, it will not be administered, and uterine contractions have been reported in animal studies. Safety in children has not been established; hence, there is no experience of use. In elderly patients, caution is required as physiological functions decline, and dosage may need to be reduced.
