This medication should not be used by pregnant women or women who may become pregnant. This medication contains lactose, so individuals with inherited conditions that impair lactose digestion should avoid taking it. Patients at risk of bleeding or those taking medications that affect blood coagulation should use this medication with caution. While taking this medication, hypersensitivity reactions such as skin rash or itching may occur, so if these symptoms appear, discontinue use immediately. Bleeding can occur rarely, so if bleeding symptoms appear, stop taking the medication and consult a doctor. Gastrointestinal symptoms such as diarrhea, nausea, abdominal pain, decreased appetite, and heartburn may occur. Liver function abnormalities may arise, so it is advisable to periodically check liver health status. Rarely, symptoms such as increased heart rate or low blood pressure may occur, so caution is required. Various symptoms including headache, facial flushing, dizziness, and a feeling of warmth may appear, and in severe cases, consultation with a doctor is necessary. Patients with lumbar spinal stenosis should monitor symptom changes to decide whether to continue taking this medication. Safety during pregnancy has not been established, and uterine contractions have been reported in animal studies, so pregnant women should avoid taking it.
