This medication should not be administered to patients with bleeding conditions. In patients with conditions that carry a high risk of bleeding, such as hemophilia or gastrointestinal ulcers, bleeding may worsen. It is safer for women who are pregnant or may become pregnant not to use this medication, as negative effects on the fetus have been reported in animal experiments. Patients who are menstruating or have a tendency to bleed should use this medication cautiously, as the risk of bleeding may increase. Patients taking anticoagulants or antiplatelet agents should be careful, as the risk of bleeding may increase when used in combination with this medication. Patients with severely impaired kidney function should be administered this medication cautiously, as it may affect its excretion. Elderly individuals are likely to have decreased kidney and liver function, which may increase drug concentration; therefore, they should start with low doses and be monitored closely. During the course of this medication, symptoms of bleeding, skin rash, liver function abnormalities, or other adverse reactions can occur, so immediate consultation with healthcare professionals is necessary if symptoms appear. Regular blood tests to check for bleeding tendencies and liver and kidney function are important.
