Precautions

This medication should not be taken by women who are pregnant or may become pregnant, as the ingredients may induce uterine contractions or increase blood flow to pelvic organs, elevating the risk of miscarriage or premature birth. Additionally, nursing mothers are advised against taking this medication, as specific ingredients could pass into breast milk and cause diarrhea in infants. Individuals with very weak stomachs should consult with a healthcare professional before taking this medication. It may burden the stomach and lead to symptoms like loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, and diarrhea. People who already have loss of appetite or symptoms of nausea or vomiting should also consult with a healthcare professional before taking this medication, as symptoms may worsen. Individuals experiencing diarrhea or soft stools should consult a professional prior to taking this medication, as symptoms may intensify. Those with significantly weakened physical condition should be particularly cautious when taking this medication, as side effects can present more easily and symptoms may worsen. Patients taking other medications should consult with a professional before using this medication due to possible interactions. Elderly individuals may have diminished body functions and should take caution regarding dose adjustments when using this medication. The safety of this medication for children has not been sufficiently confirmed, so it is not advised for them due to limited usage experience. If symptoms such as loss of appetite, stomach discomfort, nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, or diarrhea occur while taking this medication, it should be discontinued immediately and a healthcare professional consulted. If symptoms do not improve after about a month of use, discontinuation and consultation with a professional is necessary. This medication must be used according to the prescribed methods and dosages. Especially the defecation-promoting effects of its components can vary greatly among individuals, so caution is required. Irritant laxatives should not be used continuously for more than one week, as tolerance can develop and constipation may worsen, so if daily laxatives are needed, it is essential to identify and treat the cause of constipation. When taking this medication with other herbal products, ensure no overlapping ingredients, as duplicate use of ingredients like Rhubarb may increase the risk of side effects. This medication should be stored away from direct sunlight, in a cool, dry place. After use, ensure the container is tightly sealed for storage. Store in a secure location out of reach of children, and avoid transferring the medication from its original container to another, as this can lead to misuse or a decrease in quality.
