Warnings and precautions
Consult your doctor, pharmacist, or nurse before starting to take this medicine:
- If you have had or developed an ulcer, bleeding, or perforation in the stomach or duodenum, which may be manifested by severe abdominal pain or persistent abdominal pain and/or black stools, or even without previous warning symptoms.
- This risk is higher when using high doses and prolonged treatments, in patients with a history of peptic ulcers, and in elderly patients. In these cases, your doctor will consider the possibility of associating a stomach protective medication.
- Elderly patients suffer from a higher incidence of adverse effects, specifically gastrointestinal bleeding and perforation (in some cases fatal).
- If you have any liver disease.
- If you have kidney problems.
- If you have heart problems or have had a stroke.
- If you smoke.
- If you have diabetes.
- If you have angina, blood clots, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, or high triglycerides.
This medicine may be associated with an increased risk of heart attacks. Adverse effects can be minimized by using the lowest effective dose for the shortest possible duration. Do not exceed the recommended dose or duration of treatment.
Similarly, this type of medicine may cause fluid retention, especially in patients with heart failure and/or high blood pressure (hypertension).
- If you have blood disorders.
- If you are taking medications that alter blood coagulation, such as oral anticoagulants like warfarin, or antiplatelet agents like acetylsalicylic acid, inform your doctor. You should also discuss the use of other medications that may increase the risk of bleeding, such as corticosteroids and selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor antidepressants.
- If you have Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis, as this medicine may worsen these conditions.
- If you are recovering from major surgery.
- If you have had asthma in the past or still suffer from it.
- In case of chickenpox, the use of this medicine should be avoided because, in rare cases, severe skin infections related to its use can occur.
Hypersensitivity reactions may occur, and very rarely, severe allergic reactions (see section 4. Possible side effects) may appear. The risk is higher during the first month of treatment. Stop treatment immediately if you experience the first symptoms of skin rash, mucosal lesions, or other signs of hypersensitivity.
Consult your doctor even if any of the above circumstances have occurred to you at any time.
