Precautions

This medication may pose a risk of gastrointestinal bleeding if taken by individuals who regularly consume a lot of alcohol, so consultation with a doctor or pharmacist is essential. If there are cardiovascular diseases or risk factors, particularly with long-term use, there is a risk of serious cardiovascular problems such as myocardial infarction or stroke, so caution is necessary. Due to the potential for serious gastrointestinal issues such as bleeding, ulcers, or perforations, elderly patients or those using the drug long-term should exercise additional caution. Patients with a history of gastrointestinal ulcers or bleeding, serious blood, liver, kidney, or heart conditions, or allergies to any component of this medication should not take it. Do not exceed the recommended dosage, and it is best not to use this medication in conjunction with other non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). During breastfeeding, as this medication can be passed to the infant through breast milk, breastfeeding should either be halted or the medication should be discontinued. Consultation with a doctor or pharmacist is crucial before use if there are any blood abnormalities, liver or kidney diseases, heart failure, high blood pressure, or a history of allergies. If any serious allergic reactions, gastrointestinal bleeding, skin rashes, liver function abnormalities, or difficulty in breathing occur during use, stop taking the medication immediately and consult healthcare personnel. Long-term users should undergo regular blood tests and liver function tests to confirm any abnormalities, and care should be taken as symptoms of infection may be masked during use.

This medication should be used at the lowest possible dose for the shortest duration, and the duration or dose should not be arbitrarily increased. Overdosage may result in severe symptoms such as dizziness, vomiting, liver function abnormalities, or kidney failure, so caution is needed, and immediate medical attention should be sought in the event of overdose.
