This drug contains the artificial sweetener aspartame, which is metabolized into phenylalanine in the body. Therefore, patients with a hereditary disease called phenylketonuria should not take this medication. Additionally, newborns, breastfeeding women, and women who are pregnant or may become pregnant should not take this medication due to the risk of premature birth or miscarriage from the included Coptis component. It is advisable for individuals with a sensitive stomach to consult a physician or pharmacist before taking this medication, as symptoms such as appetite loss, nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, and diarrhea may occur. Moreover, elderly patients may require caution as bodily functions may be diminished, thus dosage modification might be necessary. Patients taking other medications must consult a healthcare professional. If after taking this medication, symptoms such as skin rash or urticaria, or gastrointestinal disturbances (loss of appetite, abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, etc.) occur, it is crucial to discontinue use immediately and consult a professional. If symptoms do not improve after taking for more than a month, consulting a professional is necessary. For prolonged use, medical guidance is essential, and the prescribed dosage and administration must be followed strictly. When taking in combination with other herbal medicines, care must be taken to avoid ingredient duplication.
