Precautions

This medication should be taken with caution by individuals who consume more than three drinks daily, as it may result in gastrointestinal bleeding; consultation with a doctor or pharmacist is essential. This medication may increase the risk of significant thrombotic events or myocardial infarction and stroke; therefore, it should only be used at the lowest effective dose for the shortest duration. During treatment, if symptoms indicative of cardiovascular issues such as chest pain, shortness of breath, weakness, or speech disturbances appear, immediate consultation with healthcare personnel is necessary. This medication can increase the risk of gastrointestinal perforations, ulcers, and bleeding, and special caution is advised for the elderly or patients with a history of gastrointestinal disorders. If symptoms such as epigastric pain, indigestion, black stools, or hematemesis occur, immediate notification and treatment by healthcare personnel are required. This medication is not to be administered to patients with allergies to certain ingredients, or severe cardiovascular, liver, kidney disorders, active peptic ulcers, inflammatory bowel diseases, or congestive heart failure. Women who are pregnant or may become pregnant, breastfeeding women, and individuals with certain genetic lactose intolerance should also avoid this medication. Patients with impaired liver or kidney function, asthma, hypertension, heart failure, or the elderly should take this medication with caution and require regular monitoring and testing. This medication can cause a variety of adverse reactions, including indigestion, headache, skin rash, edema, liver function abnormalities, and decreased kidney function. Particularly, if skin rashes, mucosal lesions, blisters, fever, or itching occur, discontinuation of the medication should be considered, and consultation with a specialist is advised. This medication may interact with other drugs, so patients should inform healthcare personnel of any other medications being taken, especially when combined with antihypertensives, anticoagulants, diuretics, or antidepressants.

Breastfeeding women should also consider discontinuing breastfeeding or stopping this medication due to potential effects on the infant through breast milk. The safety and efficacy of this medication in children and adolescents under the age of 18 have not been established. Elderly patients are more likely to have decreased kidney, liver, and heart function, necessitating more careful monitoring during use. Patients may experience dizziness or drowsiness; hence, it is advisable to refrain from driving or operating machinery. For patients on long-term therapy, regular blood tests and tests for liver and kidney function should be performed to check for abnormalities.
