Caution should be exercised when this drug is taken by individuals who consume alcohol heavily daily, as this increases the risk of gastric bleeding. This drug may increase the risk of cardiovascular thrombotic events such as heart attack or stroke; therefore, it should be used at the lowest effective dose for the shortest duration necessary, and any cardiovascular symptoms should be reported to healthcare providers immediately. This drug may cause serious issues such as ulcers, bleeding, or perforation in the digestive tract, so those with a history of gastrointestinal disease or older individuals should use it with care; if abdominal pain, hematemesis, or black stools occur, immediate medical attention should be sought. This drug should not be administered to individuals with specific allergies, liver, kidney disease, heart conditions, pregnant women, or breastfeeding women without consulting healthcare providers beforehand. Patients with reduced liver or kidney function, asthma, and hypertension should use this medication cautiously and may require regular monitoring. Various adverse reactions such as headaches, dizziness, dyspepsia, rashes, swelling, hypertension, and breathing difficulties may occur during use; any severe or persistent symptoms should be reported to healthcare providers. This drug can affect liver and kidney function, so regular blood tests and liver and kidney function tests should be conducted, and usage may need to be discontinued if abnormalities are found. This drug can interact with other medications, so patients should inform their healthcare providers of any current medications, particularly anticoagulants, diuretics, antihypertensives, and antidepressants. Pregnant women or those who may become pregnant should not take this medication; if pregnancy occurs while taking it, the drug should be stopped immediately and healthcare providers should be consulted. Breastfeeding women should also discontinue either the drug or breastfeeding, as the medication may affect the baby. This drug should not be used in children and adolescents under 18 years of age as its safety and effectiveness have not been established. Older adults should be cautious when using this drug due to a higher risk of decreased kidney and liver function and may require dose adjustment. Dizziness or drowsiness may occur after taking this medication, so it is advised to avoid driving or operating machinery. Prolonged use of this medication may lead to signs of anemia or bleeding, necessitating regular blood tests. Overdose may cause vomiting, drowsiness, gastrointestinal bleeding, or renal failure, requiring immediate emergency treatment. This medication should be kept out of reach of children and should not be transferred to other containers.
