During treatment, patients may experience various adverse reactions such as back pain, cold symptoms, indigestion, rashes, and taste abnormalities; if symptoms are severe, consultation with a physician is advised. Before starting treatment, it is important to check the patient's serum triglyceride levels, and if dietary adjustments and exercise are necessary, reducing weight should be prioritized. Regular blood tests to monitor triglyceride levels, liver function, and cholesterol levels should be conducted during the treatment period. Patients taking anticoagulants or aspirin should be closely monitored for bleeding symptoms as this may increase the risk of bleeding when using this medication together. During pregnancy, the safety for the fetus has not been sufficiently established; it should only be used when there is a significant therapeutic need, and nursing mothers should use it cautiously. In cases of overdose, there is no specific antidote, so appropriate treatment and supportive therapy according to symptoms will be necessary.
