Additionally, safety and efficacy have not been sufficiently studied in children and adolescents, so it should not be taken by those under 18 years of age. It is also considered safe for pregnant women to avoid taking this medication. This medication contains lactose, so individuals with lactose intolerance or certain genetic metabolic disorders should not take it. It is advisable not to use this medication concurrently with blood-thinning medications, as this may increase the risk of bleeding. Moreover, it can interact with several other medications, potentially altering their effects, thus caution is particularly needed when taking it with certain heart medications or asthma treatments. Individuals with bleeding disorders or those taking high-risk bleeding medications should consult their doctor or pharmacist before starting this medication. Women who are nursing should consult professionals, as it is uncertain whether this medication passes into breast milk. Patients with epilepsy should be cautious when taking this medication, as the risk of seizures may increase. If you are scheduled for surgery, it is recommended to discontinue this medication at least 36 hours before the procedure to reduce the risk of bleeding. The duration of use varies depending on symptoms, but generally, it is taken for more than 8 weeks; if symptoms do not improve after 3 months, consult your doctor. Some individuals may experience side effects such as nausea, headache, insomnia, anxiety, skin rash, swelling, itching, or dizziness while taking this medication; should any abnormal symptoms arise, immediately inform a professional. In rare cases, severe allergic reactions may occur, so if symptoms such as difficulty breathing or facial swelling arise, immediate emergency care is needed.
