Safety and efficacy have not been sufficiently validated for children and adolescents, so it should not be used by those under 18 years of age. It is also safe not to take this medicine during pregnancy. Additionally, since it contains lactose, individuals with lactose intolerance or related genetic diseases should not take it. It is important not to take this medicine with anticoagulant medications during its use. Taking it together with such medications may enhance its efficacy and increase the risk of bleeding. Moreover, this medicine may affect the metabolism of various other medications in the liver, potentially causing interactions with other drugs. Particularly, if you are taking specific medications such as calcium channel blockers or theophylline, careful monitoring and dosage adjustment by a physician are necessary. Those with bleeding disorders or taking medications that increase bleeding risk should consult a specialist before taking this medicine. Women who are breastfeeding should also consult with a specialist, as it is uncertain whether this medicine passes into breast milk. Furthermore, caution is required as seizure exacerbation may occur if this medicine is taken by individuals with epilepsy. If surgery is pending, it should be discontinued at least 36 hours prior to reduce bleeding risk. Additionally, if symptoms do not improve or worsen, a physician should be consulted within 3 months to decide whether to continue taking it. During use, nausea, headaches, insomnia, skin rashes, and other allergic reactions may occur; if any abnormal symptoms arise, consult a specialist immediately.
