Warnings and precautions

Risk of bleeding (especially with ulcers, blood thinners, or before surgery); inform doctor/dentist before procedures. Stop and seek care if black stools, vomiting blood, unusual bleeding, or severe stomach pain occurs. Statin-related muscle symptoms (unexplained muscle pain/weakness) require medical review; risk higher with liver disease or interacting drugs. Avoid in active liver disease; periodic liver function monitoring may be needed. Not for children unless specifically prescribed; avoid in aspirin allergy or aspirin-sensitive asthma.
