Patients who have had allergic reactions to specific drug classes in the past, especially those sensitive to COX-2 inhibitors or non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs such as aspirin, should exercise caution. Women who are pregnant or potentially pregnant should avoid this medicine due to the risk of miscarriage or premature birth from the herbal ingredients it contains. Patients with allergies to soybean oil, soy, or peanuts should also avoid this medicine. Patients with a history of peptic ulcers, cardiovascular diseases, liver or kidney dysfunction, bronchial asthma, or those taking neuropsychiatric medications should use this medicine cautiously. Patients with dyslipidemia or those taking lipid emulsions should also be vigilant. This medicine may cause gastrointestinal side effects such as heartburn, indigestion, nausea, and diarrhea, and symptoms like facial or systemic swelling and weakness may also appear. Blood tests may show leukopenia, liver function abnormalities, skin itching, headaches, and blurred vision. While taking this medicine, it is important to monitor for signs of gastrointestinal bleeding, cardiovascular problems, or liver or kidney dysfunction, and to consult medical personnel immediately if any abnormal symptoms occur. It is essential to undergo regular blood tests, liver and kidney function tests, and electrocardiograms to detect any abnormalities.

Certain herbal components in this medicine may cause digestive issues or skin rashes; if any abnormal symptoms arise, discontinue use and consult a professional. Patients at risk of lipid overload should monitor their blood lipid levels and adjust the dosage of this medicine as needed. Safety data for pregnant or breastfeeding women are insufficient, so it is best not to take this medicine during pregnancy or lactation.

Elderly patients are at higher risk for adverse reactions, thus more careful observation is necessary during use. In cases of overdose, visit a medical institution immediately for appropriate diagnosis and treatment.
