Patients with high blood pressure, heart or kidney dysfunction, those with edema, and women who are pregnant or may become pregnant should consult a specialist before taking this medication. Caution is required for individuals with a weak stomach, loss of appetite, nausea, or vomiting, as these symptoms may worsen. It is important for those who have previously experienced allergic reactions such as skin rashes or itching from medications to consult before taking this drug. Patients currently receiving other treatments or medications, the elderly, and children should consult a specialist, as the safety of this medication is not certain for them. If symptoms such as skin rash, itching, loss of appetite, nausea, or diarrhea occur during treatment, discontinue use immediately and consult a specialist. Particularly, when the dosage contains a substantial amount of licorice, long-term use may lead to side effects such as increased blood pressure, edema, or hypokalemia, so blood tests should be performed to monitor their condition. If symptoms such as muscle weakness or cramps occur, it is necessary to stop taking the medication immediately and consult a specialist. If symptoms do not improve after taking the medication for more than one month, stop taking it and consult a specialist. Always adhere to the prescribed dosage and usage, and it is advisable to follow a specialist's guidance for long-term use. Caution should be exercised as the risk of side effects may increase when taken with licorice or specific diuretics. When taken with other herbal medications, check for overlapping ingredients to prevent side effects.
