This medication is not safe for use in pregnant or breastfeeding women. Patients with bleeding tendencies or who are taking anticoagulants should avoid this medication. It is advisable not to use it in patients with severely impaired liver or kidney function. If there is an allergic reaction to any of the ingredients of this medication, it should not be taken. Children under 12 years old should not take this medication. During use, digestive symptoms such as abdominal pain, heartburn, nausea, and diarrhea may occur; caution is advised.

Very rarely, serious allergic reactions such as facial swelling, difficulty breathing, or low blood pressure may occur, necessitating immediate consultation with a healthcare professional. Signs of liver dysfunction may appear, so if jaundice, dark urine, upper abdominal pain, or loss of appetite occur, discontinue use and consult a physician. If symptoms do not improve within a week after taking the medication, or if symptoms like fever, difficulty breathing, or hemoptysis persist, discontinue the medication immediately. It is recommended not to take this medication while lying down. No specific interactions with other medications have been reported; however, caution is necessary as it may affect blood coagulation when taken with certain anticoagulants.
