Precautions

This medication should be consulted with a doctor or pharmacist if you regularly consume more than three drinks a day, as it may increase the risk of gastrointestinal bleeding. This medication may increase the risk of serious cardiovascular events such as thrombotic events, myocardial infarction, and stroke, so it should be used only at the minimum effective dose for the shortest duration possible, and healthcare professionals must be informed immediately if cardiovascular symptoms occur. Serious gastrointestinal problems such as ulcers, bleeding, and perforation may occur, particularly in elderly patients or those with a history of gastrointestinal diseases, and should be observed carefully. This medication should not be administered to patients with specific allergies, severely impaired liver or kidney function, active peptic ulcers, heart failure, ischemic heart diseases, pregnant women, and nursing mothers. Patients with liver or kidney problems, a history of cardiovascular diseases, hypertension, or asthma should take this medication with care and be monitored closely. During use, various adverse reactions such as indigestion, headaches, dizziness, skin rash, edema, hypertension, and gastrointestinal bleeding may occur, and it is necessary to consult healthcare professionals immediately if symptoms arise. This medication is metabolized in the liver, so there may be drug interactions, particularly with drugs that inhibit or induce the liver enzyme CYP 2C9, which may require dosage adjustment when used together. Women who are pregnant or may become pregnant should not take this medication, and nursing mothers should consult healthcare professionals before taking it. This medication is not recommended for children and adolescents under 18 years of age as safety and efficacy have not been established. Elderly patients should be careful when using this medication due to the higher risk of renal, hepatic, and cardiac function decline, and dosage may need to be adjusted. Dizziness or drowsiness may occur, so it is advisable to avoid driving or operating machinery. This medication does not affect platelet function, so it cannot be used as an alternative to aspirin for thrombus prevention, and the risk of gastrointestinal bleeding may increase when taken with aspirin. Those taking this medication for a long period should regularly undergo blood tests and liver and kidney function assessments to check for abnormalities. In case of overdose, symptoms such as weakness, nausea, vomiting, gastrointestinal bleeding, and renal failure may arise, requiring immediate treatment.
