It is recommended that healthy young adults or middle-aged individuals do not take this medication. Additionally, individuals who sweat very little and have dry skin should avoid usage.

If symptoms such as loss of appetite, abdominal pain, vomiting, or diarrhea occur while taking this medication, discontinue use immediately and consult a healthcare professional. If symptoms do not improve after 5-6 days of use, stop taking it and seek medical advice. As an irritant laxative, prolonged use of this medication can lead to tolerance and worsen constipation, so it is advised not to continue usage for more than one week. If constipation persists, the cause should be investigated.

When taking this medication with other herbal remedies or natural products, ensure that the ingredients do not overlap, especially avoiding concurrent use with products containing rhubarb. When storing this medication, keep it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, and be sure to seal it tightly after use. It is also important to store it out of reach of children.
