Precautions

This medication should not be taken by women who are pregnant or may become pregnant, as the ingredients included in this medicine can cause uterine contractions, increasing the risk of miscarriage or premature birth. Additionally, nursing women should also avoid taking this medication, as some components can be passed through breast milk, causing diarrhea in infants. Individuals with a genetic inability to digest lactose should not take this medication, as it contains lactose, which may cause digestive disorders. While taking this medication, it is advisable not to take other antidiarrheal medications, as drug interactions may lead to side effects. Patients with hypertension, heart or kidney disease, and edema must consult a professional before use. Older adults or patients on other medications should also exercise caution. It is also recommended to consult a professional if symptoms such as diarrhea, loose stools, loss of appetite, nausea, or vomiting occur. Consultation is necessary if one is in a significantly weakened state, experiences heavy sweating, or has a history of cardiovascular disease. Patients with hyperthyroidism or diabetes should also be cautious when taking this medication, and those allergic to specific dyes should use it carefully. If symptoms such as swelling of the face or limbs, elevated blood pressure, or headaches occur during use, discontinue use immediately and consult a professional. Symptoms such as muscle weakness, cramps, indigestion, skin rashes, insomnia, excessive sweating, urinary disorders, and liver function abnormalities also warrant stopping the medication and seeking medical attention. It is recommended not to take this medication for an extended period; if prolonged use is unavoidable, consultation with a professional is essential. Irritant laxatives can cause tolerance and worsen constipation, so it is best not to use them for more than a week. Follow the dosing guidelines accurately and be cautious of ingredient overlap when taking other herbal medicines. Furthermore, care should be taken when combined with ephedra or certain other medications, as symptoms such as insomnia, rapid heartbeat, and excessive sweating may occur. Caution is also needed when taking medicines containing potassium or licorice, as this may lead to hypokalemia or muscle disorders. When storing, keep it sealed in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and out of reach of children. Keeping it in a different container may degrade the quality, so it must be stored in the original container.
