Patients who are very weak, have weak stomachs, lack appetite, or experience nausea should use this medication with caution. Additionally, those who sweat profusely, have heart disease, hypertension, kidney problems, have urinary disorders, or have hyperthyroidism should be careful. Long-term use may lower serum potassium levels, leading to side effects such as muscle weakness, edema, and elevated blood pressure, thus regular monitoring of the condition is necessary. Liver dysfunction may occur, as well as hypersensitivity reactions like skin rashes or itching, as well as insomnia, palpitations, and indigestion symptoms. If swelling occurs in the face or extremities, or if blood pressure increases leading to headaches while taking this medication, it is advisable to discontinue use and consult a doctor. If symptoms do not improve after taking the medication, it is best to stop and consult a professional. Be cautious if taking other herbal medicines or specific medications together, as side effects may worsen. Women who are pregnant or could become pregnant should carefully consider the benefits and risks of using this medication. Children and the elderly may require dosage adjustments or careful use due to differences in physiological functions. The medication should be stored in a cool, dry place out of reach of children, and it is recommended not to transfer it to another container.
