Precautions

This medication should not be administered to pregnant or breastfeeding women. Caution is also advised for patients with bleeding tendencies or those taking anticoagulants. Patients with severe liver or kidney disease should not take this medication. Patients with known allergic reactions to any of the components should avoid taking it. Gastrointestinal disturbances such as abdominal pain, heartburn, nausea, or diarrhea may occur during usage, so care is needed. Rarely, bleeding symptoms such as gum bleeding or nosebleeds may appear. Allergic reactions such as skin rashes, hives, or itching can occur; if these symptoms occur, consult a doctor immediately. Although rare, serious allergic reactions like facial swelling, difficulty breathing, or low blood pressure may require urgent action. There may be indications of liver dysfunction, so if symptoms such as jaundice, dark urine, severe abdominal pain, or loss of appetite occur, discontinue use and seek medical attention. If a fever persists for several days or if there is difficulty breathing or blood-stained sputum, consult a doctor immediately. This medication may affect blood coagulation, so if taken with anticoagulants, there may be an increased risk of bleeding. Safety has not been established for infants under 1 year of age, so it should not be used. Once opened, it should be used within 3 months and stored out of reach of children. As this is an herbal extract, the color or flavor may change over time, but it does not affect efficacy. It is safest not to store the medication outside its original container and to keep it tightly closed.
