This medication should not be taken by patients with acute abdominal disorders or intestinal obstruction, and by children under the age of 7. Additionally, it contains lactose, so individuals with genetic issues such as lactase deficiency or galactose intolerance should not take it. When taking this medication, do not take antacids or milk together, and wait at least 1 hour after ingestion.

Individuals on sodium-restricted diets and those with a history of rectal bleeding or intestinal failure should also consult a professional before use. This medication contains specific dyes, so caution is advised for individuals allergic to these ingredients. If symptoms such as rash, redness, itching, severe abdominal pain, diarrhea, or vomiting occur during use, stop taking it immediately and consult a professional. If abdominal discomfort or cramps occur, or if constipation does not improve after taking it for more than a week, discontinue use and consult a doctor. Follow the dosage and administration instructions carefully, and children should be administered under parental supervision. For children under 10 years of age, it is advisable to avoid use unless in special circumstances.
