Precautions

This medication should not be taken by women who are pregnant or may become pregnant, as the rhubarb component can cause uterine contractions or pelvic congestion, leading to risks of miscarriage or premature birth. Moreover, breastfeeding women should avoid this medication as the ingredients can be passed into breast milk and cause diarrhea in infants. Individuals with lactose intolerance or certain genetic metabolic disorders should not take this medication due to the lactose it contains. During treatment, it is advisable not to use this medication in conjunction with other laxatives due to potential interactions that may lead to side effects. Individuals with hypertension, heart or kidney diseases, edema, elderly patients, persons taking other medications, those with diarrhea or weak stomachs, or individuals experiencing anorexia, nausea, or vomiting should consult a healthcare professional before taking this medication. Particular caution is needed for those who are physically weak or experience excessive sweating, have a history of heart disease, have urination disorders or hyperthyroidism, have previously experienced skin rashes or itching with this medication, or are diabetic. If facial or limb swelling, elevated blood pressure, or headaches occur during treatment, the medication should be discontinued immediately, and a healthcare professional should be consulted. Additionally, if symptoms such as muscle weakness, cramps, indigestion, skin rashes, insomnia, excessive sweating, rapid heartbeat, urination issues, or symptoms of liver dysfunction appear, the medication should be stopped immediately and medical advice should be sought. If constipation does not improve after one week of taking this medication, it should be stopped, and professionals should be consulted. It is advised not to use this medication for long periods; if prolonged use is necessary, it must be done under medical supervision. Prolonged use of stimulative laxatives may lead to tolerance and worsening constipation, so caution is required. Strict adherence to the prescribed usage and dosages is essential, as the effects of the rhubarb component can vary among individuals. When taking this medication with other herbal medicines or drugs, be cautious of ingredient duplication or interactions, especially with ephedra, ephedrine, thyroid medications, and diuretics, which may increase the risk of side effects, and professional consultation should be sought before use. This medication must be stored away from direct sunlight in a cool, dry place and kept out of reach of children. Taking the medication out of its original container and storing it in another one can lead to quality deterioration or misuse, so this should be avoided.
