Precautions

This medicine should not be administered to women who are pregnant or may become pregnant. Furthermore, it contains lactose, so patients with lactose intolerance or genetic lactose-related metabolic disorders should not use it. Patients with a tendency to bleed or those taking antiplatelet agents, thrombolytics, or anticoagulants should use this medicine cautiously. While using this medicine, hypersensitivity symptoms such as skin rash or itching may occur, so if such symptoms develop, discontinue administration immediately. Bleeding may rarely occur, so careful observation for bleeding symptoms is necessary. Gastrointestinal abnormalities may result in diarrhea, nausea, abdominal discomfort, and decreased appetite, so if symptoms are severe, consult a healthcare professional. Liver function abnormalities may occur, so it is necessary to check liver status through tests such as liver function tests. There may also be cardiovascular symptoms such as increased heart rate or low blood pressure, which should be noted. Symptoms such as headache, facial flushing, and dizziness may occur, and if symptoms persist, inform a healthcare professional. In patients with lumbar spinal stenosis, the course of symptoms should be closely monitored to decide on continued treatment. For patients with severe symptoms that require surgery, the effectiveness of this medicine is not certain, so careful judgment is needed. The safety of this medicine in children has not been established, so it is recommended not to use it in this population. Elderly patients may have decreased physical function, so special attention is needed to adjust dosages. Finally, administering a large amount to healthy adults may temporarily lower blood pressure, so care should be taken to avoid overdose.
