Precautions

This medication should not be used in women who are pregnant or may become pregnant. Since this medication contains lactose, it should not be administered to patients with genetic disorders that cause lactose intolerance. Caution should be taken in patients with a tendency to bleed or those taking antiplatelet agents, thrombolytics, or anticoagulants. When taking this medication, hypersensitivity reactions such as skin rash or itching may occur; if such symptoms appear, the treatment should be stopped immediately. Bleeding may rarely occur, so if bleeding symptoms appear, the medication should be discontinued, and medical advice should be sought. Gastrointestinal discomfort may occur, including diarrhea, nausea, abdominal pain, loss of appetite, and heartburn. Liver function abnormalities may occur, so it is advisable to check liver function tests regularly. Cardiovascular symptoms such as rapid heartbeat or low blood pressure may rarely occur. Symptoms such as headache, facial flushing, dizziness, warmth, fatigue, and edema may also be experienced. Patients with lumbar spinal stenosis should carefully monitor symptoms and decide on the use of the medication. Safety during pregnancy has not been established, and uterine contractions have been reported in animal studies, so it is not recommended for use in pregnant women. Safety has not been established in children, and experience with use is limited. Elderly patients may have decreased body functions, so caution is needed in adjusting the dosage. Healthy adults may experience temporary drops in blood pressure with large doses, so caution should be exercised.
