Patients with a history of drug allergies should also be careful when using this medication.

Allergic symptoms such as itching, rash, or skin redness may also occur. Gastrointestinal symptoms such as gastric bleeding, abdominal pain, diarrhea, heartburn, decreased appetite, nausea, or vomiting may arise, warranting attention. There may be tendencies for bleeding such as nosebleeds or blood in sputum, so if these symptoms occur, consultation with a healthcare provider is advised.
