Precautions

This medication should not be used in patients with bleeding as it may increase the risk of bleeding. It is safest to avoid administration in pregnant women or women who may become pregnant due to potential harm to the fetus. Caution is advised when administering to patients during menstruation or with a tendency to bleed, as well as those taking anticoagulants or antiplatelet agents, due to an increased risk of bleeding. Patients with severely impaired kidney function and the elderly should also be given carefully. Various side effects such as urticaria, dyspepsia, constipation, diarrhea, headache, cough, etc., may occur, and patients should consult healthcare professionals immediately if abnormal symptoms arise. Serious adverse reactions such as bleeding, liver function abnormalities, and blood disorders may occur, so it is important to regularly check the condition through blood tests. The risk of bleeding may further increase when taken with anticoagulants or antiplatelet agents, so caution is required with concomitant use. Pregnant or breastfeeding women should avoid administration due to potential effects on the fetus or newborn. Safety in children has not been established, so it should not be used in children. This medication should be kept out of the reach of children, and transferring to another container should be avoided to maintain the quality of the product.
