Precautions
This medication should not be taken by individuals with acute abdominal diseases or intestinal obstruction. Women who are pregnant or may become pregnant should not take this medication, as its ingredients may induce uterine contractions, increasing the risk of miscarriage or premature birth. Nursing mothers should avoid this medication, as its ingredients may be transmitted through breast milk, potentially causing diarrhea in infants. Children under 7 years old and infants under 3 years old should also refrain from using this medication for safety reasons. Individuals with lactose intolerance or certain genetic metabolic disorders should avoid this medication due to the lactose it contains. During the use of this medication, antacids or milk should not be taken within 1 hour to maintain its efficacy. Those experiencing severe abdominal pain, appetite loss, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, or those with high blood pressure, heart, or kidney issues should consult a healthcare professional before taking this medication. If taking other medications, having an allergic constitution, experiencing rectal bleeding, intestinal issues, having a weak stomach, or being in poor physical condition, consult a professional as well. If unusual symptoms such as skin rash, severe abdominal pain, vomiting, or diarrhea occur while taking this medication, discontinue use immediately and consult a healthcare professional. Additionally, if swelling of the face or extremities, increased blood pressure, or headaches occur, stop taking this and seek medical attention. If discomfort or cramping in the abdomen persists, stop taking the medication immediately and seek consultation. Long-term use may lead to side effects such as hypokalemia, edema, or weight gain, so it's essential to monitor potassium levels in the blood periodically.

This medication should not be used for an extended period, and if constipation continues, the underlying cause should be investigated. Caution should be exercised when taking this medication with other drugs that contain potassium or licorice to avoid an increased risk of side effects.
