Patients with a history of allergic reactions to COX-2 inhibitors, sulfonamides, aspirin, or other non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs should also not use this medication. Women who are pregnant or may become pregnant should avoid this medication due to certain herbal components that may pose risks of miscarriage or premature birth.

Gastrointestinal adverse reactions such as heartburn, dyspepsia, dry mouth, nausea, and diarrhea may occur upon taking this drug. Rarely, symptoms such as facial swelling, generalized edema, or weakness may occur, hence caution is necessary.

While taking this drug, monitoring of liver or kidney function is necessary as abnormalities may arise. Those who consume alcohol frequently should be particularly careful when taking this medication due to an increased risk of gastrointestinal bleeding. Caution is also needed when used in conjunction with other anti-inflammatory drugs or corticosteroids as their safety has not been confirmed. Symptoms such as dizziness or drowsiness may occur, so caution is required when driving or operating machinery. Due to the herbal components contained within this medication, side effects such as gastrointestinal disturbances or skin rashes may arise; if symptoms occur, discontinue use immediately and consult a specialist. There is insufficient safety data regarding use in pregnant women, nursing mothers, children, and adolescents, hence it is advisable not to use in these populations.
