Dosage and administration must be adhered to according to the patient's symptoms, and particularly for children, supervision by a guardian is necessary. Consulting with a professional is also advisable for long-term use. Additionally, care must be taken to ensure that ingredients do not overlap when taking another herbal medication or natural remedy. If symptoms do not improve within a certain period, professionals should be consulted. Safety has not been thoroughly confirmed for children, and it should never be administered to infants under one year of age. Older adults may have diminished bodily functions, so careful monitoring of their condition and adjustment of dosage is needed while using this medication.
