This medication is a drug that improves blood circulation and inhibits platelet aggregation. Taking this medication can cause the heart to beat faster, which may lead to symptoms such as chest pain and angina; hence, patients should carefully observe for such symptoms. Patients at risk of bleeding or those who have recently experienced hemorrhagic stroke, gastrointestinal bleeding, etc., should refrain from using this medication as it may exacerbate bleeding. Patients with weak heart function, such as those with congestive heart failure, should also avoid taking this medication as it may worsen their symptoms.

Moreover, patients with arrhythmias or specific heart structural abnormalities should be careful when using this medication.

Mild side effects may include headaches, indigestion, skin rash, anxiety, dizziness, nausea, vomiting, etc. This medication is metabolized in the liver, meaning it may interact with other medications, especially when taken alongside drugs that increase the risk of bleeding; thus, regular checks of coagulation status are necessary.
