This medication contains glycyrrhizin, and taking a considerable amount for a prolonged period may lead to decreased potassium levels in the blood, elevated blood pressure, and body swelling, so caution is required. It should be stored in a sealed container away from direct sunlight and moisture, and it should not be transferred to another container. Individuals with high blood pressure, the elderly, those with heart or kidney issues, or those experiencing body swelling should consult a professional before use. If symptoms such as reduced urine output, facial or limb swelling, heavy eyelids, stiff hands, increased blood pressure, or headaches occur during use, discontinue immediately and consult a professional. For long-term use, regular checks of serum potassium levels are necessary, and if abnormalities are found, discontinue use. If muscle weakness, cramps, or paralysis symptoms appear, stop taking the medication immediately and seek professional advice. Moreover, using potassium supplements, licorice-containing products, or specific diuretics together may enhance the potential side effects, so careful administration is necessary.
