Pregnant women or those who may become pregnant should consult a professional before taking it. Caution is also required for those with a weak stomach, those who sweat a lot, hyperthyroid patients, and those with urinary difficulties. Diabetics need to be particularly careful as blood sugar may increase. If symptoms such as swelling of the face or hands and feet, high blood pressure, muscle weakness or cramps, skin rash, indigestion, liver dysfunction, difficulty breathing, urinary disorders, insomnia, excessive sweating, rapid heartbeat, or generalized weakness occur, discontinue use immediately and consult a professional. Also, if symptoms do not improve after one month, stop taking it and consult a professional. This medicine should be taken according to the prescribed dosage and frequency, and care should be taken not to take it with other medications containing potassium or licorice or certain diuretics, as it can cause muscle weakness or electrolyte abnormalities. When taking with other traditional herbal medicines, make sure there is no overlapping of ingredients, and prolonged use should be decided after consultation with a professional. Additionally, taking it with ephedra, ephedrine, thyroid preparations, catecholamines, or xanthine derivatives can lead to side effects such as insomnia, excessive sweating, and rapid heartbeat, so the dosage should be reduced or taken with caution.
