This medication should not be used by women who are pregnant or may become pregnant. It contains lactose, so individuals with genetic issues such as galactose intolerance, Lapp lactase deficiency, or glucose-galactose malabsorption should not take it. Patients with a risk of bleeding or those taking antiplatelet agents, thrombolytics, or anticoagulants should use this medication cautiously. Rash or itching may occur when taking this medication, so if such symptoms arise, immediately stop taking it and consult a physician. Rarely, bleeding may occur; if any abnormal symptoms appear, stop taking it immediately and inform a healthcare professional. It may affect the gastrointestinal system, leading to symptoms such as diarrhea, nausea, abdominal pain, loss of appetite, or heartburn. Liver function abnormalities may occur, so monitoring is necessary if liver enzyme levels rise. Rarely, symptoms such as increased heart rate or low blood pressure, and cyanosis of extremities may appear. Symptoms like headache, facial flushing, dizziness, tremors, edema, and anemia have also been reported, so consult a physician if any abnormal symptoms appear. Patients with lumbar spinal stenosis should carefully monitor symptoms to determine whether to continue using this medication. The effectiveness of this medication for patients with severe spinal stenosis requiring surgery is not certain. Safety during pregnancy has not been confirmed, and uterine contractions were reported in animal studies, so pregnant women should not take it. Safety in children has not been established, so it's best not to use it in pediatric patients. Elderly individuals may have decreased physical function, so they must use the medication with caution, potentially reducing the dosage. Taking this medication excessively may temporarily lower blood pressure, so caution is advised.
