This medication should not be taken by women who are pregnant or may become pregnant, as the rhubarb component contained in this medication can cause uterine contractions and increase the risk of miscarriage or premature birth. Women who are breastfeeding are also advised not to take this medication, as the components of rhubarb can be passed into breast milk and cause diarrhea in infants. While taking this medication, do not take other anti-diarrheal medications as they may interact and cause burdens to the body. Individuals who are allergic or have shown hypersensitivity to the dye ingredient Yellow No. 4 (Tartrazine) should be cautious when taking this medication. Patients with hypertension, heart disease, kidney disease, or edema, as well as the elderly, should consult a doctor or pharmacist before taking this medication, as it may worsen their symptoms. Patients taking other medications should also consult a healthcare professional before taking this medication, as drug interactions may occur. Those with diarrhea or loose stools, weak stomachs, or symptoms of loss of appetite, nausea, or vomiting should consult a healthcare professional before taking this medication, as their symptoms may worsen. Patients who are physically weak or have become weak after illness, those who sweat excessively, and those with a history of circulatory diseases such as angina or myocardial infarction should also be cautious. Patients with urinary disorders, hyperthyroidism, or who have experienced skin rashes or itching after taking this medication should consult a professional.

This medication also contains Yellow No. 5 (Sunset Yellow FCF), so those who are sensitive to it should take precautions. If any of the following symptoms occur while taking this medication, stop taking it immediately and consult a healthcare professional: facial and limb swelling, high blood pressure symptoms, muscle weakness or spasms, indigestion, skin rash, insomnia, excessive sweating, rapid heartbeat, urinary issues, or liver dysfunction. If symptoms do not improve after taking the medication for more than a week for constipation, stop taking it and consult a doctor.
