Precautions

This medication should not be taken by women who are pregnant or may become pregnant, as the ingredients may stimulate the uterus and increase the risk of miscarriage. Additionally, breastfeeding women should also avoid this medication, as certain ingredients can be passed into breast milk and cause diarrhea in infants. This medication contains lactose, so individuals with genetic issues such as lactose intolerance or glucose-galactose malabsorption should not take it. People with diarrhea or loose stools, as well as those with very weak digestive systems, should consult a physician or pharmacist before taking this medication, as their symptoms may worsen. If experiencing loss of appetite, nausea, or vomiting, it is advisable to consult a professional before taking this medication, as these symptoms may become more severe. Individuals with very weak physical health should be cautious, as side effects may present easily and symptoms could worsen. If gastrointestinal symptoms such as loss of appetite, discomfort, nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, or diarrhea occur during use, discontinue the medication immediately and consult a professional. The effects of this medication's ingredients on bowel movements can vary by individual, so it is essential to adhere strictly to the prescribed dosage and administration guidelines. Irritant laxatives can lead to tolerance and increased severity of constipation with prolonged use, thus it should not be used for more than a week consecutively. If daily constipation relief is required, the underlying cause must be identified. When taking this medication alongside other herbal medicines, care should be taken to avoid ingredient duplication. Particularly, overlapping ingredients such as rhubarb may increase the risk of side effects. Finally, this medication is sensitive to moisture; therefore, after use, it must be stored in a sealed container to prevent moisture intrusion.
