Precautions

This medication can put stress on the liver, so anyone consuming more than three drinks of alcohol daily must consult a doctor or pharmacist before use. The ingredients in this medication can rarely cause severe skin reactions, so if a rash or hypersensitivity appears, discontinue use immediately. As this medication contains acetaminophen, care should be taken to avoid using it alongside other products containing acetaminophen, as this can lead to liver damage. Drowsiness, dizziness, and blurred vision may occur during use, so it is advisable to avoid driving vehicles or operating machinery. Do not take this medication if you have an allergy to it or have specific conditions such as hypertension, severe liver or kidney disease, or a history of asthma. Additionally, interactions may occur when taken with certain medications, so anyone currently taking other drugs should consult a healthcare professional. Before taking this medication, it is essential to discuss various health conditions with a doctor or pharmacist, including obstructive vascular disease, allergic constitution, liver dysfunction, kidney impairment, heart function abnormalities, asthma, thyroid disease, glaucoma, pregnancy possibility, or breastfeeding. If throat pain is severe or symptoms such as fever, rash, or vomiting persist for more than two days, stop taking this medication immediately and consult a healthcare professional. Overdose may result in severe side effects such as liver damage, kidney damage, or cardiac arrhythmias, so it is crucial to adhere to the recommended dosage and administration.
