Patients with hypertension, heart or kidney diseases, edema, elderly patients, patients taking other medications, patients with weak stomachs, or patients with symptoms of anorexia, nausea, or vomiting should consult a specialist before taking this medication. If symptoms such as reduced urine output, swelling of the face or limbs, heaviness of eyelids, stiffness of hands, increased blood pressure, or headaches occur during use, stop taking it immediately and consult a specialist. Also, if symptoms such as muscle weakness, limb cramps, paralysis, or worsening gastrointestinal symptoms such as anorexia, gastric discomfort, nausea, or diarrhea occur, you should stop taking it and seek medical attention. If symptoms do not improve after one month of use, it is important to stop taking it and consult a specialist. This medication must be taken according to the prescribed dosage and method, and caution should be taken as the risk of side effects increases when taken with potassium-containing preparations, licorice, glycyrrhizin, and some diuretics. Additionally, when taken with other herbal medicines, check for overlapping herbal components. During storage, keep it in a cool and dry place away from direct sunlight, and store it in a safe place out of reach of children.
