Patients with bleeding risks or hemorrhagic disorders, patients with congestive heart failure, patients with a history of hypersensitivity, pregnant or breastfeeding women should not take this medication. Caution is needed when taking this medication in combination with anticoagulants or antiplatelet agents due to an increased risk of bleeding. Patients with heart diseases or significantly impaired renal and liver functions should take this medication cautiously, and those requiring blood pressure control should also be careful.

Dizziness may occur during treatment, so caution is advised when driving or operating machinery.

Safety in children or newborns has not been established, and use should be avoided. Elderly patients should adjust the dosage due to potential decline in physical function.
