This medication can cause serious gastrointestinal side effects such as gastrointestinal bleeding, ulcers, and perforations, especially in the elderly or those on long-term therapy. Severe allergic reactions may result in serious symptoms affecting the heart, so if signs of an allergy occur, the medication should be discontinued immediately, and a doctor should be consulted.
