Precautions

This medication should not be taken by women who are pregnant or may become pregnant, as the ingredients may cause uterine contractions, increasing the risk of miscarriage or preterm labor. Additionally, breastfeeding women should also refrain from taking this medication, as its ingredients can be transmitted through breast milk and may cause diarrhea in infants. During the course of this medication, it is advised not to use other diarrhea-inducing medications, as side effects may worsen. Consultation with a doctor or pharmacist may be necessary, especially if other medications are being taken, or if symptoms of diarrhea or loose stools, loss of appetite, nausea, or vomiting occur. Furthermore, individuals with weak stomachs or frequent diarrhea, those with weak health, elderly individuals, and children should consult a specialist before taking this medication. If symptoms such as loss of appetite, abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, or diarrhea occur during usage, immediately discontinue and consult a specialist. Also, if symptoms do not improve within one month of use, stop taking the medication and seek advice from a specialist. This drug must be taken according to the prescribed dosage and instructions. The efficacy of the ingredients can vary from person to person, so dosage should not be adjusted arbitrarily. Irritating laxatives may lead to tolerance and worsen constipation if used for extended periods; therefore, it is advisable not to use it continuously for more than one week. If daily laxatives are needed, the underlying cause should be identified and treated. Additionally, when taking other herbal or natural medicines, care must be taken not to overlap with the same ingredients. This medication should be stored away from direct sunlight in a cool place with low humidity, and it must be securely closed after use. It should be kept out of reach of children, and transferring the medication from the original container to another increases the risk of deterioration in quality or misuse, which should be avoided.
