Precautions

This medication should not be used in patients with acute abdominal conditions. For instance, individuals with conditions such as appendicitis, intestinal bleeding, or ulcerative colitis should refrain from taking it. Patients with intestinal obstruction should also avoid this medication. Women who are pregnant or may become pregnant should avoid this medication as its ingredients can induce uterine contractions, elevating the risk of preterm birth or miscarriage. Some ingredients in this medication can be transmitted through breast milk and may cause diarrhea in infants, thus breastfeeding women should not take this medication or should cease breastfeeding. Patients with very low physical strength or weak pulses should use caution when taking this medication. Additionally, since this medication contains lactose, individuals with genetic disorders that prevent lactose breakdown should not take it. Elderly individuals may have weakened physical functions, so it is essential to consult a specialist before taking this medication. Patients already on other medications should also consult due to potential drug interactions. Individuals experiencing diarrhea or loose stools may see symptoms worsen and should consult a specialist before taking this medication. It is also necessary to consult a specialist if experiencing gastric discomfort or symptoms like loss of appetite, abdominal pain, nausea, or vomiting. Patients with severely weakened physical strength may experience adverse reactions more easily, thus caution is required. If symptoms like loss of appetite, abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, or diarrhea occur during treatment, use should be stopped immediately, and a specialist should be consulted. Furthermore, if symptoms do not improve after one week of use, medication should be stopped and consultation should be sought. As a stimulant laxative, prolonged use of this medication may lead to tolerance and worsen constipation, so it should not be taken continuously for more than one week. If daily use of laxatives is necessary, the underlying cause should be identified. The prescribed dosage and frequency must be strictly adhered to, and since the effect of the rhubarb ingredient may vary by individual, caution is advised. When taking this medication along with other herbal medicines, be sure to check for overlapping ingredients, especially if taking preparations containing rhubarb. This medication should be stored away from direct sunlight in a cool, dry place, and after use, it must be tightly sealed for storage. It's also important to keep it in a safe place out of the reach of children. Additionally, transferring this medication from its original container to another can pose a risk of misuse or degradation of quality, so it must be kept in its original container and tightly closed.
