Precautions

This medication should not be used in women who are pregnant or may become pregnant. Additionally, it should not be administered to patients with lactose intolerance or specific genetic metabolic disorders, as it contains lactose. Use with caution in patients who are at risk of bleeding or who are taking antiplatelet drugs, thrombolytics, or anticoagulants. This medication may cause hypersensitivity reactions such as rashes or itching, and use should be discontinued immediately if such symptoms appear. Bleeding symptoms may rarely occur, so the patient's condition should be closely monitored, and administration should be stopped if abnormalities are observed. Gastrointestinal symptoms may include diarrhea, nausea, abdominal pain, loss of appetite, and heartburn. It may affect liver function, potentially increasing liver enzyme levels, so caution is advised. Rarely, symptoms such as rapid heart rate, low blood pressure, and cyanosis in the extremities may occur. Headaches, facial flushing, dizziness, swelling, and fatigue are also potential experiences. Patients with lumbar spinal stenosis should monitor symptom changes and decide on the continuation of treatment. Safety during pregnancy has not been confirmed, so it should not be used in pregnant women; animal studies have shown uterine contractions. Safety in children has not been established, and there is no clinical experience in this group. Elderly patients may have reduced physical function, so dosage adjustments may be necessary.
