Precautions

This medicine should not be taken by individuals who have had an allergic reaction to it or have a history of such reactions. Patients with ulcers in the stomach or duodenum should avoid this medication as it may exacerbate symptoms. Children under 8 years old should not take this medication for safety reasons. It is advisable not to take this medication alongside other cough or phlegm medications and cold remedies. Individuals currently receiving treatment from a physician or dentist should consult a professional before taking this medication. Women who are pregnant, may become pregnant, or are breastfeeding should consult medical personnel before taking this medication. Elderly individuals should consult a specialist before taking this medication for safety. Individuals with a history of allergic conditions or family members with allergies should exercise caution before taking it. Those who have experienced allergic symptoms (fever, rash, arthralgia, asthma, itching, etc.) in the past should consult a professional before taking this medication. If there is a high fever, it is essential to consult medical personnel before taking this medication. Individuals with diseases affecting major organs like the heart, liver, or kidneys should consult a professional before taking this medication. Those with a previous history of stomach or duodenal ulcers should also be cautious before taking it. If symptoms such as redness of the skin, itching, nausea, vomiting, loss of appetite, abdominal pain, headache, or blood in the phlegm occur while taking this medication, discontinue use immediately and consult a professional. While rare, serious skin conditions or allergic reactions, as well as liver function impairment symptoms, may occur, so if such symptoms arise, stop taking the medication and inform medical personnel immediately. If symptoms do not improve after taking it for 3-4 days, discontinue use and consult a doctor or pharmacist. The prescribed dosage and administration must be strictly observed. When administering to children, it must be done safely under the supervision of a guardian. Symptoms such as diarrhea or dry mouth may appear, so if these symptoms persist or worsen, discontinue use and consult a professional. Animal studies indicate that long-term high-dose use may temporarily increase liver enzyme levels and the amount of phlegm, so caution is needed. The amount of phlegm may temporarily increase during the use of this medication, so this should be kept in mind. This medicine must be kept out of reach of children and stored in a cool place away from direct sunlight and moisture. Storing medicines in another container after removing them from their original container may reduce quality or increase the risk of misuse, so they must be stored in their original container.
