While taking this medication, digestive symptoms such as stomach pain, heartburn, nausea, and diarrhea may occur, so caution is needed. Mild symptoms of bleeding such as gum bleeding or nosebleeds may occur infrequently. Allergic reactions such as skin rashes, hives, and itching may appear rarely. Very rarely, serious allergic reactions such as facial swelling, difficulty breathing, and hypotension can occur, so if these symptoms appear, immediate consultation with a healthcare professional is necessary. There have been reports of liver dysfunction symptoms and decreased platelet counts, so it is advisable to monitor liver health periodically. If any signs of liver damage appear, such as jaundice, dark urine, severe abdominal pain, or loss of appetite, immediate discontinuation and consultation with a doctor is required. It is important to stop taking the medication and inform healthcare professionals if the condition does not improve or if symptoms like fever, difficulty breathing, or blood-stained sputum persist. When taking this medication, it is recommended to swallow it while sitting or standing, not lying down. This medication may affect blood coagulation; therefore, patients taking anticoagulants should consult their doctors. No interactions with other medications have been reported, but it is safe to consult with your primary physician before taking it. Women who are pregnant or breastfeeding should avoid taking this medication as its safety has not been established.
