Serious vascular issues such as myocardial infarction or stroke may occur, so individuals with heart disease or risk factors should be particularly cautious. During use, cardiovascular symptoms should be closely monitored, and immediate action should be taken if symptoms occur. Serious issues such as gastrointestinal bleeding, ulcers, or perforations may arise. The risk of such side effects is higher, particularly in older individuals, so care should be taken regarding gastrointestinal symptoms during use.

Individuals with blood abnormalities, liver disorders, kidney disorders, heart failure, hypertension, a history of allergic reactions, elderly patients, children (6 years and older), and patients with alcohol addiction must consult with healthcare professionals before use. Also, since there may be interactions with various medications, it is crucial to inform healthcare providers about any existing medications being taken. If serious adverse symptoms occur during use such as shock symptoms, severe skin rashes, blood abnormalities, liver function abnormalities, kidney function decline, cardiovascular issues, or psychiatric conditions, use should be discontinued immediately, and consultation with healthcare professionals is necessary.
