During treatment, gastrointestinal symptoms such as abdominal pain, heartburn, nausea, and diarrhea may occur. Rarely, light bleeding such as gum bleeding or nosebleeds may occur, requiring caution. Allergic reactions such as skin rashes, hives, and itching may also occur. Very rarely, severe allergic reactions such as facial swelling, difficulty breathing, and low blood pressure may occur, so if any abnormal symptoms appear, consult a healthcare professional immediately. Signs of liver dysfunction may appear, so if jaundice, dark urine, abdominal pain, or loss of appetite occurs, the medication should be discontinued immediately and a doctor should be consulted. If symptoms do not improve within a week after taking the medication or if symptoms such as fever, difficulty breathing, or coughing up blood persist, discontinue the medication and visit a hospital. It is advisable not to take this medication while in a lying position. While no specific interactions with other medications have been reported, caution is advised when using anticoagulants as they may affect blood coagulation. It is preferable not to use this medication during pregnancy or while breastfeeding as safety has not been established.
