Women who are pregnant or may become pregnant should not take this medication due to potential harm to the fetus. Women during menstruation or patients with a tendency to bleed should also use this drug cautiously, as bleeding may worsen. Patients taking anticoagulants or platelet aggregation inhibitors may have an increased risk of bleeding when using this drug, so caution is needed. Patients with severely impaired renal function or elderly patients should also use this drug with caution, as the drug may not be excreted well from the body, leading to possible side effects. During treatment, patients should carefully monitor for symptoms of bleeding, liver dysfunction, skin rashes, or other adverse reactions. If abnormal symptoms occur, consult a physician immediately. Regular blood tests to check blood status and liver function are recommended. This drug can increase the risk of bleeding when taken with other blood-related medications, so consultation with a doctor or pharmacist is essential. Breastfeeding women should also be cautious when taking this medication and should preferably avoid breastfeeding.
