This medication is used for symptomatic treatment of pain and fever, and regular blood tests and liver function tests are required with long-term use. During treatment, the patient's condition should be closely monitored, and any adverse reactions should be reported to healthcare professionals promptly. This medication may mask infections, so caution should be exercised in suspected cases of infections, and appropriate antimicrobial treatment should accompany its use. Elderly patients and children should start with the minimal effective dose and be particularly cautious of side effects. Taking this medication within a week before surgery may increase bleeding risk, so inform the healthcare provider if surgery is planned. Overdosing on this medication can lead to severe toxicity, so the prescribed dosage must be strictly adhered to. When used for treating cardiovascular diseases or other purposes, consultation with a physician or pharmacist is necessary, as self-medication can be risky. Following administration, there may be a temporary antiplatelet effect that increases the bleeding risk; therefore, caution is necessary during dental or other surgical procedures.

Concurrent use of this medication with certain nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs may reduce its antiplatelet effect, so consult a physician.

When taken alongside anticoagulants, thrombolytics, antidiabetic medications, etc., this medication may increase the risk of bleeding, requiring careful dosage adjustment and monitoring. Interactions with some medications may reduce the efficacy of this medication or enhance side effects, so individuals taking other medications should consult with healthcare professionals.
