Adverse effects such as bleeding, infections, severe skin reactions, bone marrow suppression, interstitial lung disease, and liver dysfunction may occur during treatment, so careful observation is necessary. In particular, when undergoing surgery or invasive procedures, consideration may be given to discontinuing this medication due to the high risk of bleeding. Since this medication is metabolized in the liver, drug concentrations may change when taken with certain medications, so it is essential to consult with a doctor.
