Precautions

This medication should not be used in patients with bleeding. Individuals with bleeding disorders such as hemophilia or gastrointestinal ulcers may have an increased risk of bleeding. Women who are pregnant or may become pregnant should refrain from taking this medication as negative effects on the fetus have been reported in animal studies. Women during menstruation, patients with a tendency to bleed, and those taking anticoagulants or platelet aggregation inhibitors should exercise caution when using this medication as the risk of bleeding may increase. Patients with severe renal impairment should be administered this drug carefully due to potential issues with excretion. Elderly patients need to be particularly cautious when using this medication. During treatment, side effects such as rash, dyspepsia, constipation, diarrhea, headache, cough, fluctuations in blood pressure, and anxiety may occur. If any unusual symptoms appear, consult a healthcare professional immediately. Moreover, serious bleeding, hematologic disorders, and liver dysfunction may occur, thus regular blood tests and monitoring of health status are necessary. When taken with anticoagulants or platelet aggregation inhibitors, the risk of bleeding is increased, so special care should be taken when used together. Pregnant or nursing women are advised against taking this medication, and if unavoidable, it is recommended to avoid breastfeeding. Safety in children has not been adequately confirmed, so its use in pediatrics is not recommended. Lastly, this medication should be kept out of reach of children, and transferring it to another container should be avoided as it may negatively impact quality and safety.
