Precautions

This medication should not be used by children under 15 years of age. This medication contains lactose, and should not be administered to patients with genetic issues such as galactose intolerance, lactase deficiency, or glucose-galactose malabsorption. Women who are pregnant or may become pregnant should avoid this medication as the ingredients may affect uterine contractions or pelvic organs. Breastfeeding women should avoid this medication as the ingredients can transfer into breast milk and cause diarrhea in infants. Those who have experienced allergic reactions or side effects from cold medications, cough medicines, or motion sickness pills should use this medication cautiously. Patients with glaucoma or those who experience difficulty urinating should also use this medication with caution. Women who may become pregnant, patients who are taking other medications, and individuals with weakened health should exercise caution with this medication. Patients with diarrhea or loose stools, or with sensitive stomachs should be careful as symptoms may worsen. Patients experiencing loss of appetite, nausea, or vomiting should also use this medication carefully, and individuals in poor health may be more susceptible to side effects. If during use of this medication symptoms such as rash, skin redness, dry mouth, nausea, vomiting, loss of appetite, or abdominal discomfort appear, discontinue use immediately and consult a doctor or pharmacist. This medication contains an ingredient that may cause diarrhea, but if severe abdominal pain accompanies the diarrhea, stop taking it and consult an expert. Digestive side effects may include decreased appetite, gastrointestinal discomfort, nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, and diarrhea. This medication contains strong ingredients, so it is essential to adhere strictly to the prescribed dosage and usage instructions. Drowsiness may occur after taking it, so it is safe to avoid driving or operating machines. If symptoms do not improve after several days of use, discontinue use and consult a doctor or pharmacist. Do not use this medication for an extended period, and be mindful that the effects of the rhubarb ingredient can vary per individual based on dosage and usage instructions. Stimulant laxatives can develop tolerance and worsen constipation with prolonged use, so it is advisable not to use for more than a week. If daily laxatives are necessary, the underlying cause must be investigated. When used alongside other herbal preparations, be cautious of overlapping ingredients, particularly those containing rhubarb. It is advised not to take this medication with other diarrhea medicines, allergy medicines, or antihistamines. When storing, keep it out of reach of children, and avoid direct sunlight by storing it in a cool, dry place with the lid tightly closed.
