Precautions

This medication should not be taken by pregnant women or those who could become pregnant because the rhubarb component can cause uterine contractions, increasing the risk of premature birth or miscarriage. Lactating women should also refrain from taking this medication, as some components of rhubarb can be transmitted through breast milk and cause diarrhea in the baby. Individuals with allergies or hypersensitivity to soybean oil, beans, or peanuts should not take this medication. During treatment, do not use other anti-diarrheal medications simultaneously, as drug interactions may exacerbate side effects. Consult a healthcare professional before taking this medication if you have hypertension, heart disease, kidney disease, or edema, as it may worsen symptoms. Elderly patients need to adjust the dosage of this medication or take it with caution due to declining physical functions. Individuals on other medications should consult a professional before using this product as there may be drug interactions. Those experiencing diarrhea or watery stools should seek professional advice before taking this medication, and those with weak stomachs should be cautious as gastrointestinal symptoms may occur. People with significantly low physical strength or post-illness weakness may be more susceptible to adverse reactions, so caution is advised. Individuals with excessive sweating, a history of heart-related diseases, urinary disorders, or hyperthyroidism should also consult before taking this medication. Those who have experienced allergic reactions such as rashes, itching, and redness from medications should avoid or use this medication carefully. Diabetic patients need to be careful as the components of this medication may raise blood sugar levels. Those allergic to the colorants included in this medication should also use it cautiously. Patients with abnormalities in fat metabolism, such as dyslipidemia, diabetic dyslipidemia, or pancreatitis, should regularly monitor blood lipid levels while using this medication. If symptoms like facial or limb swelling, increased blood pressure, headache, muscular weakness, or paralysis occur during treatment, stop taking the medication immediately and consult a healthcare professional. If any digestive symptoms, skin rashes, autonomic nervous system issues, urinary disorders, or liver function problems arise, discontinue use and consult medical staff. If symptoms do not improve after one month of taking this medication, stop and consult a professional. It is generally advised not to take this medication for extended periods; if long-term usage is necessary, consult a professional. Stimulant laxatives can lead to tolerance and worsening constipation, so continuous use for more than one week is not recommended. Strictly adhere to the prescribed dosage and use, as the effects of rhubarb can vary significantly among individuals. When taking this medication with other herbal medicines or drugs, avoid overlapping ingredients, especially with other products containing rhubarb. Combining with ephedra, ephedrine, MAO inhibitors, thyroid medications, catecholamines, or xanthine derivatives can cause side effects such as insomnia, excessive sweating, and increased heart rate, so monitoring is necessary. Taking potassium-containing agents, licorice components, or diuretics concurrently may cause hypokalemia or muscular abnormalities, requiring vigilance. Patients with abnormal lip metabolism should regularly check their blood lipid levels and adjust their dosage accordingly, taking into consideration the intake of other lipid-influencing medications. Store this medication in a cool place with low humidity, away from direct sunlight, and ensure it is out of reach of children. Do not remove the medication from its original container and store it in another container; keep it sealed in the original packaging to maintain quality.
