It is also advisable for nursing women not to take this medication. The ingredients may be transmitted through breast milk and could cause diarrhea in infants. Individuals with lactose intolerance or certain enzyme deficiencies, such as glucose-galactose malabsorption due to genetic issues, should not take this medication.

Caution is advised when using this medication along with drugs containing potassium or certain diuretics, as side effects may occur. Long-term use is not recommended, and if prolonged use is unavoidable, consultation with a professional is necessary.

If constipation persists, it is important to identify the cause and seek treatment. This medication must be taken strictly according to the prescribed dosage and regimen, as individual effects may vary. It is crucial to ensure that there are no duplicated ingredients when taking this medication with other herbal or natural medicines.
