Moreover, excessive dosage can lead to gastrointestinal symptoms, hypernatremia, congestive heart failure, and edema; therefore, caution is required. In cases of accidental overdose, consult a specialist immediately. If symptoms do not improve after consistent use for about a month, discontinue use and consult medical personnel.
