This medication may increase heart rate, so careful observation for symptoms of angina, such as chest pain, is required. This medication should not be used in patients at risk of bleeding, or those with hemophilia, intracranial hemorrhage, or gastrointestinal bleeding. It should also not be administered to patients with congestive heart failure, those who have had allergic reactions to this medication, or women who are pregnant or breastfeeding. Patients taking anticoagulants, antiplatelet drugs, or thrombolytics, women who are menstruating, and patients with coronary artery stenosis should use this medication with caution. Patients with severely impaired kidney or liver function, those with diabetes, uncontrolled hypertension, or cardiac arrhythmias also require caution. During the use of this medication, side effects such as headache, diarrhea, palpitations, joint pain, and chest discomfort may occur; if serious bleeding or blood irregularities occur, medical personnel should be informed immediately. Dizziness may occur during administration, so care should be taken when driving or operating machinery, and taking the medicine on an empty stomach is preferable as taking it with food may increase blood concentration and risk of side effects. Since this medication is metabolized in the liver, caution is advised for potential drug interactions that may increase blood concentration when taken with certain medications. Women who are pregnant or may become pregnant should not take this medication, and breastfeeding should be discontinued if using this medicine. Safety for children or newborns has not been established, and elderly patients may require dosage adjustments due to decreased body function.
