This medicine contains royal jelly, and therefore, it is advisable for individuals with asthma or allergies to avoid taking it. Diabetes patients should not take this medicine. Those sensitive to caramel ingredients or with a history of allergies should consult a professional before taking this medicine. Individuals with high blood pressure, advanced age, heart or kidney issues, body swelling, or those currently receiving treatment should also consult a professional before taking this drug. If symptoms worsen, such as exacerbation of peptic ulcers, issues with blood sugar control, or suspected liver abnormalities, immediately discontinue taking and consult a professional. Long-term high-dose use of this medication, which contains Vitamin B6, may lead to neurological symptoms, so caution is warranted. If there is a decrease in urine output, swelling of the face and limbs, drooping eyelids, tightening of the hands, high blood pressure, headaches, or similar symptoms occur, stop taking it immediately and consult a professional. Long-term use of this drug, which contains licorice, may lead to issues such as hypokalemia, increased blood pressure, and fluid retention, so regular blood tests should be conducted to monitor the condition. Symptoms such as muscle weakness, cramps, and paralysis may arise due to hypokalemia, and if these symptoms appear, discontinue use. When taken with other medications containing potassium or licorice or certain diuretics, side effects may be more pronounced. It is essential to follow the prescribed dosage and administration instructions, and if symptoms do not improve after long-term use, consult a professional. This medicine should be taken orally and should not be used as an injectable. The urine may turn yellow after taking this medication, which could affect test results, so this should be noted.
