If symptoms such as rash, redness, itchiness, severe abdominal pain, diarrhea, or vomiting occur while taking this medication, discontinue use immediately and consult a professional. If abdominal discomfort or cramping occurs or if constipation does not improve after about one week of use, discontinuing use and seeking advice may be necessary. The prescribed dosage and administration must be strictly followed, and it is generally recommended to avoid use for children under 10 years unless absolutely necessary.
