Precautions

This medicine should not be taken by women who are pregnant or may become pregnant, as the ingredient Paeonia lactiflora may increase the risk of miscarriage or premature birth. People with weak stomachs or frequent diarrhea should be cautious when taking this medicine, as symptoms like loss of appetite, stomach discomfort, nausea, vomiting, or diarrhea may occur after ingestion. Also, this medicine contains lactose, so individuals with a genetic condition that prevents lactose digestion should not take it, including those with galactose intolerance, lactose enzyme deficiency, or glucose-galactose malabsorption. If a person experiences severe symptoms such as facial flushing and a rush of blood to the head when in good health, they should consult with a professional before taking this medicine. Those who have had allergic reactions such as skin rashes, congestion, or itching after taking medicines in the past should also seek advice. Individuals currently taking other medications or undergoing treatment should consult with a professional due to potential interactions with this medicine. It is particularly important for the elderly and children to consult with a professional before taking this medicine due to issues with bodily functions and safety. If symptoms such as skin rash, congestion, or itching, or gastrointestinal symptoms such as indigestion, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, or abdominal pain occur while taking this medicine, it should be stopped immediately and a professional consulted. The same applies to feelings of blood rushing to the head, palpitations, headaches, or a heavy feeling in the head. If symptoms do not improve after about a month of use, the medication should be discontinued and professional advice sought. This medicine must be taken strictly according to the prescribed usage and dosage, and care should be taken to avoid overlapping herbal ingredients if taken with other traditional medicines. During storage, it should be kept in a cool place away from direct sunlight and humidity, and must be sealed tightly after use. It is also very important to store it in a safe place out of reach of children.
