One of the components in this medicine, glycyrrhizin, may cause low potassium levels in the body and high blood pressure if taken for an extended period or in large amounts, which may lead to symptoms like swelling and weight gain due to sodium and water retention. This medicine should be stored in a cool place, away from direct sunlight, with low humidity, and must be tightly sealed after use. Moreover, it is advisable not to transfer it to another container to maintain quality. Patients with high blood pressure, older adults, those with heart or kidney problems, patients with body swelling, and individuals currently undergoing treatment should consult a doctor or pharmacist before taking this medicine. If symptoms such as decreased urination, swelling of the face or limbs, heavy eyelids, hand stiffness, increased blood pressure, or headaches occur, the medicine should be stopped immediately and a healthcare professional should be consulted. Long-term use of this medicine may lead to muscle weakness, cramps, or paralysis related to hypokalemia, so it is essential to monitor the body's condition and discontinue use if abnormalities are observed.
