Those who drink heavily may be at increased risk of gastrointestinal bleeding when taking this medication. This medication may increase the risk of serious side effects related to the heart, such as cardiovascular thrombotic events, myocardial infarction, and stroke. The risk may be greater with higher doses and longer duration of treatment, thus it should be used at the lowest effective dose for the shortest possible time. Additionally, this medication may cause serious gastrointestinal problems such as perforations, ulcers, and bleeding. Caution is particularly necessary for elderly patients or those with a history of gastrointestinal diseases, as they are at greater risk for gastrointestinal bleeding.

Numerous side effects may occur with this medication, with common symptoms including dyspepsia, headache, dizziness, nausea, skin rash, high blood pressure, edema, etc. Moreover, serious skin reactions, liver function abnormalities, kidney damage, and cardiovascular reactions may occur infrequently, so any unusual symptoms should be discussed with medical personnel immediately. Women who are pregnant, might become pregnant, or are breastfeeding should not take this medication, and women who plan to become pregnant should consult a doctor before use. This medication may interact with other drugs, so it is vital to disclose any current medications, especially blood pressure medications, anticoagulants, antidepressants, or diuretics when they are being taken together. Elderly patients may have decreased kidney and liver function, requiring more careful monitoring when using this medication. If this medication is to be taken for an extended period, regular blood tests and assessments of liver and kidney function should be done, and if any abnormal findings occur, the medication should be discontinued immediately. During the course of treatment, dizziness or drowsiness may occur, so it is advisable to avoid hazardous activities such as driving or operating machinery.
