This medicine should not be taken by individuals who do not have the specific constitution of Taeeumin. This medicine contains lactose, so patients with genetic conditions that prevent lactose digestion should not take it. Patients with high blood pressure, heart or kidney problems, those with edema, and those taking other medications should use caution when taking this medicine. Patients with a history of liver disease or severe health issues also need to be careful. When taking this medicine, symptoms such as decreased urine output or swelling in the face and limbs, heavy eyelids or stiff hands, and headaches due to rising blood pressure may occur. These symptoms may arise from the licorice component included in the medicine, so blood potassium levels should be checked frequently, and if any abnormalities occur, consumption should be stopped. Additionally, weakness in muscles or symptoms such as cramps or paralysis due to potassium deficiency may appear, so if such symptoms occur, stop taking the medicine and consult a professional. If liver issues are suspected, symptoms such as fatigue, loss of appetite, jaundice, nausea, vomiting, severe abdominal pain, or dark urine may occur, so consumption should be stopped immediately and consulted with a professional. Before taking this medicine, patients must discuss it with their current treating physician or pharmacist and obtain a prescription tailored to their symptoms. It is essential to adhere to the prescribed dosage and administration, especially when children are taking it, as caregivers must supervise closely. Prolonged use should be discussed with a professional, and care must be taken not to overlap with other herbal or natural remedies when taking them together. If symptoms do not improve after taking the medicine, it is crucial to consult a specialist. When taken with medications containing potassium, licorice components, or certain diuretics, side effects may occur more easily, so caution is required. Women who are pregnant or may become pregnant should only take it when the benefits outweigh the risks. Safety for children has not been adequately confirmed, and it should not be administered to infants under 1 year of age. Elderly individuals should monitor their condition closely and adjust dosages as their physical functions may be weakened.
