This medication contains aspartame, an artificial sweetener. Aspartame is broken down in the body into phenylalanine, which should be restricted in patients with phenylketonuria, a hereditary disease. When using this medication, the content of aspartame should be adjusted to remain below the daily intake recommended by the World Health Organization (WHO) of 40mg/kg, and for adults, care should be taken not to exceed a maximum of 2.4g per day. Additionally, this medication contains sodium metabisulfite, which can cause allergic reactions. Patients with asthma or those sensitive to sulfites should be especially cautious when using this medication, as it can rarely lead to life-threatening anaphylaxis or asthma attacks. Taking this medication may occasionally result in gastrointestinal symptoms such as loose stools, abdominal discomfort, diarrhea, abdominal pain, vomiting, nausea, abdominal pressure, decreased appetite, and infrequently, headaches. If symptoms persist or worsen, consult a physician. This medication also contains sodium benzoate, which can cause mild irritation to the skin, eyes, and mucous membranes, so caution is needed. Before use, shake the medication well to ensure it is mixed evenly, and store it out of reach of children. Additionally, it is advisable to keep it in a cool place, avoiding direct sunlight and humidity, with the lid tightly closed.
