This medicine should not be taken by women who are pregnant or could become pregnant, as the rhubarb component can cause uterine contractions or increase blood flow to the pelvic organs, thereby increasing the risk of miscarriage or preterm birth. Additionally, it is recommended that breastfeeding women avoid taking this medicine, as some components of rhubarb can be transmitted through breast milk and cause diarrhea in infants. Therefore, breastfeeding mothers should either avoid taking this medicine or stop breastfeeding. People experiencing diarrhea or loose stools should consult a professional before taking this medicine, as it may worsen their symptoms. Individuals with sensitive stomachs should also exercise caution; symptoms such as loss of appetite, abdominal pain, or diarrhea may occur, necessitating consultation prior to use. If nausea or vomiting is present, this medicine may aggravate those symptoms, so it is advisable to consult with a professional. Individuals with very weak constitutions may experience more pronounced and severe side effects from this medication, so consultation before taking is essential. Those currently taking other medications should consult a professional due to potential interactions. Elderly individuals may have decreased bodily functions and may need to adjust the dosage accordingly, requiring careful attention. Due to insufficient safety data, children should have expert consultation before use, as there is limited usage experience. If symptoms such as loss of appetite, gastric discomfort, nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, diarrhea, or skin rashes, itching, hives, migraine, or fever occur during use, it is essential to stop taking and consult a professional immediately. Moreover, if symptoms do not improve after one month of use, discontinue and consult a healthcare provider. This medicine must be taken according to the prescribed dosage and method, and the diarrhea-inducing effect of rhubarb varies among individuals, requiring particular caution. Stimulant laxatives may lead to tolerance upon prolonged use and worsen constipation; therefore, it is advisable not to use this medicine for more than one week. If continuous laxatives are needed daily, the cause of constipation should be identified. When taking this medicine alongside other herbal or natural products, ensure that there are no overlapping ingredients, especially when combined with products containing rhubarb.
