It is not suitable for patients with severely impaired liver or kidney function. Patients who have experienced allergic reactions to any of the ingredients in this medication should avoid taking it. It is safer for children under the age of 12 not to take this medication. During treatment, gastrointestinal disturbances such as abdominal pain, heartburn, nausea, and diarrhea may occur, so caution is advised. Occasional bleeding symptoms such as gum bleeding or nosebleeds may appear. Allergic reactions such as skin rashes, hives, or itching may rarely occur. Severe allergic reactions may result in facial swelling, difficulty breathing, and a drop in blood pressure, so if these symptoms occur, immediate consultation with a healthcare professional is necessary. Signs of liver dysfunction may manifest, so if jaundice, dark urine, abdominal pain, or reduced appetite occur, discontinue the medication and visit a hospital. There is a possibility of reduced platelet count, so it is advisable to periodically check blood test results. If symptoms such as fever, respiratory distress, or blood-stained sputum persist during treatment, the medication should be discontinued immediately. It is safest to avoid lying down when taking this medication and to take it while sitting or standing. This medication can affect blood coagulation, so taking it with anticoagulants like warfarin may increase the risk of bleeding; thus, consult a doctor.
