For instance, patients currently receiving other treatments or women who are pregnant or breastfeeding should take this product cautiously. If symptoms such as stomach discomfort, diarrhea, constipation, skin rash, nausea, vomiting, oral inflammation, appetite loss, or abdominal bloating occur during use, you should stop taking it immediately and consult an expert. Caution is also required as this product may advance the menstrual cycle or increase bleeding volume and prolong bleeding duration. For women taking oral contraceptives containing estrogen or patients at risk of thrombosis, taking the vitamin E component of this product may increase the risk of thrombosis.

High doses of this product may exacerbate peptic ulcers, impair blood sugar control, increase serum uric acid levels, and cause liver damage. It is essential to adhere to the prescribed dosage and administration method, and if symptoms do not improve after one month of use, consult with a doctor or pharmacist. When administering to children, caregivers should supervise and manage them closely. This product should not be taken alongside the drug Levodopa, so combination should be avoided. Additionally, this product can change urine color to yellow, potentially affecting some clinical test results, so this should be taken into account during examinations.
