This medication should not be taken by patients with acute abdominal disease or intestinal obstruction, and children under the age of 7. It is advisable not to take this medication within 1 hour of taking antacids or milk. Patients with severe abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, pregnant women or those who may become pregnant, those taking other medications, individuals on a sodium-restricted diet, or those with a history of rectal bleeding or intestinal failure must consult a doctor or pharmacist before taking this medication. If symptoms such as skin rash, itching, severe abdominal pain, diarrhea, or vomiting occur during use, discontinue use immediately and consult a professional. If abdominal discomfort or cramps occur, or if constipation does not improve after a week of use, stop taking the medication and consult a doctor. The prescribed dosage and method must be strictly followed, and supervision by a guardian is required when administering to children. Children under the age of 10 should avoid taking the medication unless specifically needed. Tablets should be swallowed whole and not chewed, and prolonged use can reduce efficacy and worsen constipation, so it is important not to continue taking it for more than a week. If daily laxatives are needed, the cause of constipation must be identified. Store in a place out of reach of children, avoid direct sunlight, and keep in a cool, dry, and sealed container to maintain quality. Also, transferring the medication to another container can pose a risk of misuse and degrade quality, so it is safer to keep it in the original container.
