Additionally, if there is fever or stomach pain or abdominal pain at the early stage of inflammatory or ulcerative diseases, it should not be taken as symptoms may worsen. This medicine contains lactose, and individuals with genetic problems such as lactose intolerance, lactose enzyme deficiency, or glucose-galactose malabsorption should not take it. If you have hypertension, heart disease, or kidney disease or if you have swelling in your body, you must consult with a professional before taking this medicine. Anyone who has had allergic reactions such as rashes or itching due to medications in the past, pregnant women, or those who may be pregnant, and the elderly should seek professional advice before taking this medicine.

If you notice unusual symptoms such as decreased urine output, swelling of the face and limbs, increased blood pressure, or headaches while taking this medicine, stop taking it immediately and consult a professional. If symptoms such as muscle weakness, limb cramps, or paralysis occur, stop taking and seek professional medical attention. It is important to stop taking if skin rashes, itching, heartburn, stomach pain, or abdominal pain worsen, or if constipation symptoms appear. If symptoms do not improve after taking it for more than a month, discontinue use and consult a professional. Long-term use should be avoided in principle, and if it is necessary to use it for a long time, it must be done under professional guidance. The prescribed dosage and frequency must be strictly followed, and caution is required when used in combination with potassium-containing preparations, licorice-containing preparations, or specific diuretics as it increases the risk of side effects.
