Pregnancy & lactation. 2.5-mg tab: Concomitant treatment of CAD/PAD w/ ASA in patients w/ previous haemorrhagic or lacunar stroke, or any stroke w/in a mth.

Haemorrhagic risk. Discontinue if severe haemorrhage occurs. Not recommended in patients w/ congenital or acquired bleeding disorders; uncontrolled arterial HTN; other GI disease w/o active ulceration that can potentially lead to bleeding complications; vascular retinopathy; bronchiectasis or history of pulmonary bleeding.

Not recommended in patients receiving concomitant treatment w/ strong CYP3A4 & P-gp inhibitors (eg, azole-antimycotics or HIV PIs). Use w/ caution in patients treated concomitantly w/ medicinal products affecting haemostasis eg, NSAIDs, ASA, platelet aggregation inhibitors, SSRIs, & SNRIs. Consider prophylactic treatment in patients at risk of ulcerative GI disease. Minor influence on the ability to drive or operate machinery. Rare hereditary problems of galactose intolerance, the Lapp lactase deficiency or glucose-galactose malabsorption. Not recommended in patients w/ CrCl <15 mL/min.
