Precautions

This medication should not be taken by women who are pregnant or may become pregnant. The ingredients in this medication may cause uterine contractions, increasing the risk of miscarriage. Additionally, it is advisable to avoid breastfeeding while taking this medication as the ingredients may pass into breast milk and cause diarrhea in infants. This medication contains lactose, so it should not be taken by individuals who have difficulty digesting lactose. This includes cases where there is a genetic deficiency of the lactose-digesting enzyme or difficulty in absorbing glucose and galactose. Individuals with diarrhea or loose stools should definitely consult a doctor or pharmacist before taking this medication, as it may worsen their symptoms. People with weak digestive systems or very low physical strength should also consult a professional before taking this medication because side effects may occur more easily and symptoms may worsen. If symptoms such as loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, or diarrhea occur while taking this medication, it should be stopped immediately and a professional should be consulted. The laxative effects of this medication vary from person to person, so it is important to strictly adhere to the prescribed dosage and administration. Irritant laxatives can lead to tolerance with long-term use, which may worsen constipation, so it is advisable not to continue taking them for more than one week. If laxatives are needed daily, the underlying cause should be found. When taking other herbal medicines or drugs concurrently, care should be taken to avoid overlapping ingredients. Special caution is needed when taking medications that contain rhubarb. Finally, this medication is very sensitive to moisture, so it must be stored in an airtight container after use.
