This medication should not be taken by patients with inflammatory bowel disease, gastrointestinal obstruction, or unexplained abdominal pain.

Individuals with hypersensitivity to this drug or genetic issues such as lactose intolerance should also refrain from using it. Women who are pregnant or breastfeeding, children, and the elderly should definitely consult a doctor or pharmacist before use. It is also important for patients with diabetes or fluid and electrolyte imbalances to discuss with a specialist. Furthermore, caution is necessary as there could be interactions with this medication if other drugs are being taken. If constipation is not alleviated or if there is a sudden change in bowel habits during use, stop taking it immediately and consult a specialist. Overdose can result in abdominal cramps, diarrhea, and electrolyte loss, so consult medical personnel if symptoms occur. Long-term or excessive use may lead to dependence of bowel reflex on the medication, so caution is advised. If loose stools or diarrhea occur, it is advisable to reduce or discontinue the dosage. Gastrointestinal side effects may include belching, abdominal discomfort, diarrhea, abdominal pain, loss of appetite, nausea, and vomiting.

Prolonged use can result in fluid loss or electrolyte imbalances, so regular check-ups may be needed.
