Patients taking anticoagulants or antiplatelet agents, women during menstruation, patients with coronary artery stenosis, patients with severe kidney or liver dysfunction, and diabetes patients should use this medication with caution.

Caution is also necessary before driving or operating machinery as dizziness may occur, and the medication is best taken on an empty stomach while avoiding intake after high-fat meals. Since this medication is affected by enzymes that regulate liver function, blood concentration may increase when combined with specific drugs, so dosage adjustment and caution are needed.

Safety in children and newborns has not been established, and care should be taken in adjusting dosage in the elderly due to potential decreased bodily function.
