This medication may pose a risk of gastrointestinal bleeding in individuals who regularly consume three or more glasses of alcohol daily, and consultation with a doctor or pharmacist is essential. As it belongs to the non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) class, patients with cardiovascular diseases or risk factors are at increased risk for myocardial infarction or stroke and should use caution.

If symptoms of gastrointestinal bleeding, abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, or diarrhea occur, stop taking the medication immediately and seek appropriate treatment. Various side effects such as liver dysfunction, kidney impairment, blood disorders, respiratory problems, and cardiac side effects may arise, thus close observation of the patient's condition during use is imperative. This medication may interact with other NSAIDs or specific medications, so it is crucial to inform the doctor or pharmacist of any other medications being taken. It should be avoided during late pregnancy due to potential risk to the fetus, and it is also advisable not to use during breastfeeding.
