Precautions

This medication should be consulted with a doctor or pharmacist if taken by individuals who regularly consume more than three alcoholic beverages a day, as it poses a risk of gastrointestinal bleeding. This medication can have cardiovascular effects, potentially increasing the risk of serious thromboembolic events such as myocardial infarction or stroke, making caution especially necessary for individuals with cardiovascular disease or risk factors. This medication can cause serious adverse reactions such as gastrointestinal bleeding, ulcers, or perforations, and thus elderly patients or those with a history of gastrointestinal diseases need to exercise special care when taking it. Individuals with hypersensitivity, peptic ulcer, asthma, severe cardiac insufficiency, or severe liver and kidney diseases should not take this medication. The risk of adverse effects may increase when this medication is taken with other non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, aspirin, antiplatelets, or glucocorticoids, so concomitant use is not recommended. Avoid breastfeeding while taking, and refrain from driving or operating machinery if dizziness or visual disturbances occur. Those with a history of bronchial asthma, cardiac insufficiency, kidney or liver diseases, hypertension, or blood disorders should surely consult with a doctor or pharmacist before use. Should any unusual symptoms such as headache, dizziness, vomiting, bloody stools, skin rash, or difficulty breathing occur while taking, discontinue use immediately and consult a professional. This medication helps relieve symptoms and does not replace causal treatment; it is safest to use the minimum effective dose for the shortest period possible. Use should be avoided during pregnancy, particularly in the later stages, as it may pose risks to the fetus and the mother, or should be taken under medical guidance with caution. Keep out of reach of children and store the medication in its original container to prevent degradation or misuse.
