Elderly individuals should be cautious as bodily functions may weaken and dosage adjustments may be necessary.

If there is a decrease in urine output, swelling of the face, hands, or feet, heavy eyelids, stiffness in the hands, increased blood pressure, or headaches while taking this medication, it should be discontinued immediately, and a professional should be consulted. This could be a sign of hyperaldosteronism caused by the licorice ingredient. Additionally, symptoms such as muscle weakness, limb cramps, or paralysis may be signs of myopathy due to hypokalemia and should prompt immediate discontinuation and consultation with a professional. If symptoms do not improve after one month of use, discontinue and consult a professional. It is essential to adhere to the prescribed usage and dosage, and when taking other herbal medicines, be mindful of overlapping ingredients. Taking potassium or licorice-containing medications or certain diuretics together may lead to hyperaldosteronism or hypokalemia, necessitating careful administration. For storage, keep away from direct sunlight and in a cool, dry place, and ensure that the container is sealed after use. It is also very important to store this medication out of reach of children.
