Long-term use may cause gastrointestinal ulcers and bleeding. It is recommended to take the medication after meals to reduce gastric irritation.

Additionally, severe allergic reactions may include allergic nephritis, cystitis, nephrotic syndrome, and even renal failure.
4. Other rare reactions: These include hematopoietic disorders such as anemia, leukopenia, and thrombocytopenia, as well as edema, hypertension, fluid retention, and heart failure.
If severe discomfort occurs, prompt medical attention is advised.
