Additionally, this medication may affect enzymes involved in drug metabolism in the liver, potentially changing the effects and duration of other medications.

Individuals taking medications that may cause bleeding or have a risk of bleeding must consult a physician before taking this medication. Breastfeeding women should consult a healthcare professional before use, as it is uncertain if this medication passes into breast milk. Caution is needed for patients with epilepsy as this medication may increase the frequency of seizures. If you are scheduled for surgery, discontinue this medication at least 36 hours prior due to bleeding risk, and consult a physician if symptoms do not improve or worsen. If nausea, headaches, insomnia, anxiety, skin rashes, or itching appear during the use of this medication, discontinue use immediately and consult a healthcare professional.
