Caution is advised for patients during menstruation, those with a tendency to bleed, and those currently using anticoagulants or antiplatelet agents, as the risk of bleeding may increase.

Additionally, various side effects including rash, vomiting, headache, and chest pain may appear; should any unusual symptoms occur, discontinue use and consult a physician. Regular blood tests are recommended to confirm any adverse reactions. If taken alongside anticoagulants or antiplatelet agents, the risk of bleeding is increased; thus, the healthcare provider should be informed. It is preferable for pregnant or nursing women not to take this medication; if unavoidable, nursing should be stopped. Safety in children has not been established, hence use is not recommended.
