This medication contains glycyrrhizin, which can lower potassium levels in the blood with long-term use. This may cause hypokalemia, leading to increased blood pressure, body swelling, and weight gain. Additionally, due to hypokalemia, muscle abnormalities such as weakness, cramps, or paralysis may occur, necessitating caution. It can affect liver function, which may lead to increased liver enzyme levels or jaundice symptoms, so regular checks on liver health are necessary. Allergic reactions such as skin rashes or hives may occur, and if such symptoms arise, the medication should be discontinued. It can also affect the digestive system, causing decreased appetite, stomach discomfort, nausea, and diarrhea. This medication should be used considering the patient's constitution and symptoms; if symptoms do not improve, it is advisable not to continue taking it and consult a specialist. Since it contains licorice, blood pressure and potassium levels should be closely monitored, and if abnormalities are detected, the medication should be stopped. When using other herbal remedies, care should be taken to ensure there are no overlapping ingredients. Taking with potassium-containing medications or other medications containing licorice increases the risk of hypokalemia and resultant muscle problems, so it should be used cautiously. Women who are pregnant or may become pregnant should only use this medication if the benefits are judged to outweigh the risks. Safety for children has not been sufficiently verified, so caution is needed in usage. Elderly patients may have decreased physical function, necessitating caution such as dose reduction. In cases of eczema or dermatitis, symptoms may worsen, so caution is needed. Patients with high blood pressure, heart or kidney disease, those with edema, and those under medical treatment must consult a specialist before taking this medication.
