The risk of thromboembolism is increased before and after surgery, during prolonged immobility, or shortly after giving birth, so the use of this drug should be discontinued or approached with caution in these situations.

This medication should not be given to women who are pregnant or may become pregnant, and if pregnancy is confirmed, use should be discontinued immediately.
