If symptoms such as decreased urine output, swelling of the face and limbs, heavy eyelids, hand stiffness, increased blood pressure, or headaches occur during use, stop taking the medication immediately and consult a physician. Additionally, symptoms such as muscle weakness, limb spasms, paralysis, insomnia, excessive sweating, rapid heartbeat, frequent urination, palpitations, generalized weakness, mental agitation, loss of appetite, gastrointestinal discomfort, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, urinary disorders, or suspected liver disease symptoms (fatigue, loss of appetite, jaundice, severe upper abdominal pain, dark urine) should prompt immediate cessation of the medication and a consultation with a physician. This medication must be taken according to the prescribed method and dosage, and prolonged use should be avoided. If necessary, consult a physician before doing so. When taken with potassium-containing preparations or other medications containing licorice, or specific diuretics, there is a risk of hypokalemia or muscle-related side effects, so caution is required. Taking with preparations containing Ephedra, Ephedrine, certain thyroid medications, catecholamines, or xanthine drugs may easily cause symptoms like insomnia, excessive sweating, rapid pulse, frequent urination, palpitations, generalized weakness, and mental agitation, requiring careful dosage adjustment or cautious use. When taking with other herbal medications, be careful not to have overlapping ingredients. Store this medication in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, and keep out of reach of children.
