Precautions

This medication should not be taken by women who are pregnant or may become pregnant. This is because the Dahuang ingredient contained in this medication may cause uterine contractions or increase the movement of pelvic organs, raising the risk of premature birth or miscarriage. Additionally, it is recommended not to breastfeed while taking this medication, as certain components in Dahuang can be transferred into breast milk and may cause diarrhea in infants. This medication contains lactose, so individuals with lactose intolerance, galactose intolerance, or congenital disorders affecting glucose-galactose absorption should avoid taking it. Persons with significantly weakened physical condition should consult with a healthcare professional before taking this medication, as side effects may be more pronounced. If diarrhea or loose stools occur, if there is a weak stomach, or if symptoms such as loss of appetite, nausea, or vomiting are present, it is necessary to consult with a professional. Individuals currently taking other medications or those who have previously experienced allergic reactions such as skin rash or itching due to medications should also consult in advance. Children and the elderly require caution as the safety of this medication has not been fully established, and physiological functions may be diminished. If gastrointestinal symptoms such as loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, or diarrhea occur while taking this medication, the intake should be stopped immediately, and a professional should be consulted. If any signs of liver dysfunction or jaundice occur, the medication should be stopped and medical care sought. If respiratory symptoms such as fever, cough, or difficulty breathing develop, consumption should be halted and medical examination should be carried out. If a rash or itching occurs on the skin, discontinue use and consult a healthcare professional. If symptoms do not improve after one week of use, stop taking the medication and seek medical advice. This medication must be taken according to the specified dosage and administration methods, particularly since the effect of the Dahuang component varies among individuals, caution is required. When taking other herbal medicines or natural remedies, care must be taken to avoid overlapping ingredients. Stimulant laxatives may cause tolerance and worsen constipation if used for long periods, so it is advisable not to use them continuously for more than a week. This medication should be stored in a cool place away from direct sunlight and moisture, and after use, it must be tightly sealed. Keep out of reach of children and store it in its original container to maintain the quality of the medication.
