If symptoms indicating liver damage appear, such as jaundice, dark-colored urine, severe abdominal pain, or loss of appetite, usage should be immediately stopped and a doctor consulted. If persistent fever, difficulty breathing, or bloody sputum occurs, consumption should cease and medical personnel notified. It is recommended not to take the medication while lying down. Currently, there is limited knowledge about interactions with other medications, but as it may affect blood clotting, caution is advised when taken with anticoagulants. During pregnancy or breastfeeding, it is recommended not to take this medication due to uncertainty about its safety.
