Additionally, patients who have previously shown allergic reactions to similar medications, pregnant women or women who may become pregnant, and patients allergic to soybean oil, soy, or peanuts should not take this medication. This medication should be used cautiously in some patients. Patients with a history of peptic ulcers, cardiovascular diseases, liver or kidney disorders, bronchial asthma, and those taking psychotropic drugs should be particularly careful when using this medication. Furthermore, patients with lipid metabolism disorders such as hyperlipidemia, diabetic dyslipidemia, and pancreatitis should also be given this medication cautiously. While taking this medication, gastrointestinal symptoms such as heartburn, indigestion, dry mouth, nausea, and diarrhea may occur. Abnormal reactions such as facial or generalized swelling, fatigue, and leukopenia observed in blood tests have also been reported. Rarely, headache, upper respiratory infections, and blurred vision may occur. Patients who take this medication for a long time or on a regular basis need regular tests for liver function, kidney function, and blood testing, and must immediately consult a doctor if abnormal symptoms occur. In particular, if heartburn or swelling symptoms occur, greater caution should be exercised, and frequent alcohol consumption may increase the risk of gastrointestinal bleeding. This medication is less experienced when used in combination with other non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs or corticosteroids, so caution is needed when combining them. If dizziness or drowsiness occurs while taking this medication, it is safer to avoid driving or operating machinery. Pregnant or breastfeeding women are advised not to take this medication; if breastfeeding, they should discontinue use and consult a specialist. The safety and efficacy of this medication have not been established in children or adolescents, so its use is not recommended. In older adults, adverse reactions may occur more frequently, so it should be administered cautiously with careful monitoring of the patient's condition. In case of overdose, it is essential to visit a hospital immediately for precise diagnosis and treatment. This medication should be kept out of reach of children, and care should be taken not to transfer it to another container as it may lead to deterioration in quality.
