To reduce the risk of adverse events, use the minimum effective dose of the shortest possible course for coronary heart disease, cerebrovascular diseases, congestive heart failure, dyslipidemia / hyperlipidemia, diabetes, peripheral arterial disease, smoking, creatinine clearance less than 60 ml / min, anamnestic data on the development of ulcerative lesions of the gastrointestinal tract, in the presence of Helicobacter pylori infection, in the elderly, with prolonged use and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory agents, frequent use of alcohol, severe somatic diseases, concomitant therapy following drugs: anticoagulant (e.g., warfarin), antiplatelet agents (e.g. acetylsalicylic acid, clopidogrel), oral steroids (e.g. prednisolone), selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (such as citalopram, Fluoxetine, paroxetine, sertraline).

Special notes

In the event of peptic ulcers or gastrointestinal bleeding, the development of side effects from the skin and mucous membranes of the drug should be canceled. In patients with reduced circulating blood volume and reduced glomerular filtration (dehydration, chronic heart failure, surgery), clinically severe chronic renal failure may occur, which is completely reversible after discontinuation of the drug (in these patients, daily diuresis and kidney function should be monitored at the beginning of treatment). With a persistent and significant increase in transaminases and changes in other indicators of liver function, the drug should be canceled and control tests should be conducted. In patients with an increased risk of side effects, treatment begins with a dose of 7.5 mg. In the terminal stage of chronic renal failure in patients on dialysis, the dose should not exceed 7.5 mg / day. During the period of treatment, care must be taken when driving vehicles and engaging in other potentially hazardous activities that require increased concentration and psychomotor speed (with the appearance of dizziness and drowsiness).
