It is also important for those who have previously experienced allergic reactions such as skin rashes, redness, or itching while taking other medications to consult a professional before use. There is a risk of recurrent symptoms. Patients receiving other treatments or taking other medications should also consult with a doctor or pharmacist before use, as there may be drug interactions.

If symptoms such as decreased appetite, discomfort in the stomach, nausea, or diarrhea, or skin rashes, redness, or itching occur during use, the medication should be discontinued immediately, and a professional consulted. Additionally, if symptoms do not improve after taking the medication for about a month, the use should be discontinued and a doctor consulted. It is essential to strictly adhere to the specified dosage and administration, and when taking with other herbal medicines, care must be taken to avoid overlapping ingredients.
