Precautions

This medication should not be used by pregnant women or women who may become pregnant. It also contains lactose, so it should not be administered to patients with genetic issues such as galactose intolerance, lactase deficiency, or glucose-galactose malabsorption. Patients with a tendency to bleed or those taking antiplatelet agents, thrombolytic agents, or anticoagulants should be cautious when using this medication. During treatment, hypersensitivity reactions such as rashes or itching may occur; if such symptoms appear, administration should be stopped immediately. Additionally, bleeding may occur rarely, so it is important to monitor one's condition closely, and if abnormal symptoms arise, the medication should be discontinued. Gastrointestinal symptoms may include diarrhea, nausea, abdominal pain, decreased appetite, and heartburn, and vomiting or abdominal distension may occur rarely. Since this medication can affect liver function, regular testing is required as liver enzyme levels may rise. Rapid heart rate or low blood pressure may occur, and cyanosis (blue discoloration) of hands and feet may appear rarely. Side effects may include headache, facial flushing, dizziness, hot flashes, generalized fatigue, swelling, tremors, increased body hair on the legs, and anemia. Patients with lumbar spinal stenosis should carefully observe any changes in symptoms when deciding to continue using the medication. Safety has not been established for pregnant women, and uterine contraction effects have been reported in animal studies, so pregnant women should not take this medication. Safety has not been established in children; therefore, there is no experience with use in this population. Elderly patients may have reduced physical function, so caution is needed, including dosage adjustments. Finally, healthy adults should be aware that taking a large dose of this medication at once can temporarily lower blood pressure.
