Precautions

This medication should not be taken by women who are pregnant or may become pregnant, as the rhubarb ingredient can cause uterine contractions, increasing the risk of premature birth or miscarriage. Also, nursing mothers should not take this medication, as specific components of rhubarb may be transmitted through breast milk and cause diarrhea in the infant. Individuals with chills or frequent diarrhea symptoms are also advised not to take this medication. People with very weak physical strength or newborns should not take this medication. Individuals with genetic issues such as lactose intolerance, lactase deficiency, or glucose-galactose malabsorption should also refrain from using this medication. While taking this medication, it should not be taken with other antidiarrheal drugs. Patients with diarrhea or loose stools, a weak stomach, loss of appetite, nausea, or vomiting should consult a healthcare professional before taking this medication. Individuals with ongoing bleeding or those who have experienced allergic reactions such as skin rashes or itching due to this medication should also consult a specialist. Patients taking other medications or elderly individuals should exercise caution before using this medication. If symptoms such as loss of appetite, abdominal pain, vomiting, severe diarrhea, skin rashes, or itching occur during treatment, stop taking the medication immediately and consult a specialist. If symptoms persist for more than one month or do not improve, it is essential to consult a healthcare professional. This medication is an irritant laxative, so long-term use for over a week can lead to tolerance and may worsen constipation, so caution is necessary. When taking this with other herbal medicines or natural products, ensure that the same components do not overlap, especially products containing rhubarb. It is crucial to adhere to the prescribed dosage and administration, as the effects of rhubarb may vary among individuals, so dosage should be adjusted with care. This medication should be stored in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight, and must be tightly sealed after use. It should be kept out of reach of children, and storing it in a different container from the original can cause misuse or deterioration of quality.
