This medication should not be taken by women who are pregnant or may become pregnant, as the ingredients may induce uterine contractions or affect the pelvic area, leading to risks of miscarriage or preterm birth. Women who are breastfeeding should also avoid this medication, as certain ingredients present in it can be transmitted through breast milk and may cause diarrhea in infants. Individuals with genetic issues such as lactose intolerance, lactose deficiency, or glucose-galactose malabsorption should not take this medication, as it contains lactose which may worsen these conditions. During treatment with this medication, it is important not to use other antidiarrheal medications simultaneously, as it may lead to overlapping effects or serious side effects. Individuals with hypertension, heart disease, kidney disease, or edema should consult a healthcare professional before taking this medication. Additionally, elderly individuals, those currently taking other medications, those experiencing diarrhea symptoms, or those with sensitive stomachs should also consult a professional. If you have symptoms such as loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting, or significant fatigue after illness, or if you sweat excessively, it is advisable to consult a professional before taking this medication. Individuals with circulatory diseases such as angina or myocardial infarction, or those with past medical history, individuals with urinary disorders, or patients with hyperthyroidism should also seek advice before use. If you have experienced allergic reactions such as rash, redness, or itching from this medication, do not take it again. Diabetic patients should be cautious as certain ingredients in this medication may raise blood sugar levels. If symptoms such as increased blood pressure, edema, muscle weakness, severe indigestion, skin rash, insomnia, palpitations, urinary disturbances, or liver function abnormalities occur during use, discontinue use immediately and consult a healthcare professional. If constipation does not improve after one month of using this medication for treatment, consult a specialist. It is generally advised not to take this medication for a long period, and if long-term use is unavoidable, it should be done under professional guidance. Stimulant laxatives should not be used continuously for more than one week due to the risk of developing tolerance or worsening constipation. Adhere strictly to the prescribed dosage and method of administration, and be mindful of ingredient overlap when using with other herbal remedies. Particularly, use caution when taking with mahuang, ephedrine, MAO inhibitors, thyroid medications, catecholamines, or xanthine derivatives as adverse effects such as heart rhythm abnormalities, insomnia, or excessive sweating may occur. When used in combination with potassium-containing medications, licorice, or diuretics, there is a risk of hypokalemia and muscle weakness, thus careful use is necessary.
