Precautions

This medication should not be taken by women who are pregnant or may become pregnant, as the rhubarb ingredient can cause uterine contractions, increasing the risk of premature birth or miscarriage. Additionally, this medication is not recommended for nursing mothers. The ingredients in rhubarb can be passed to breast milk and may cause diarrhea in infants, so it is advisable to avoid taking it while breastfeeding or to stop breastfeeding. Those with weak physical condition or sensitive stomachs should be cautious as this medication can cause side effects such as diarrhea or abdominal pain. Elderly individuals, those taking other medications, individuals with diarrhea or loose stools, and those experiencing loss of appetite, nausea, or vomiting should consult a professional before taking this medication, as there is a risk of worsening symptoms. If symptoms such as loss of appetite, gastric discomfort, nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, or diarrhea occur while taking this medication, it should be stopped immediately and a professional should be consulted. Moreover, if symptoms do not improve after one week of taking the medication, it should be discontinued and professional advice sought. This medication is a stimulant laxative, and prolonged use can lead to tolerance and worsening constipation. Therefore, it is advisable not to take it continuously for more than a week. If daily laxatives are required, it is important to find and treat the underlying cause of the constipation. When taking, it is crucial to adhere to the prescribed method and dosage, as the effects of rhubarb may vary by individual. When taking with other herbal remedies, care should be taken to avoid overlapping herbal ingredients, especially when combined with other products containing rhubarb. When storing, avoid direct sunlight and keep in a cool place with low humidity, sealing it tightly after use. It is also crucial to store it in a safe place out of reach of children. Furthermore, this medication should be stored in its original container, as transferring it to another container can risk misuse and degrade the quality of the medication.
