Precautions

This medication can exert stress on the liver; thus, individuals who consume more than three drinks daily should consult a doctor or pharmacist before use. Additionally, rare serious skin reactions may occur due to the ingredients in this medication; if any abnormal skin symptoms such as rash or itching appear after taking it, discontinue use and consult a professional immediately. Since this medication contains acetaminophen, it is crucial to avoid exceeding the maximum daily dose and not to take it with other medications that contain acetaminophen. Because pseudoephedrine is included, if symptoms such as fever, red spots, or pustules appear, stop taking the medication and consult a doctor or pharmacist. People with specific allergic reactions or a history of asthma, infants under 3 months, those taking certain antidepressants, or those with severe hypertension or kidney disease should not take this medication. During treatment, be cautious not to take other cold medications, antipyretics, sedatives, or antihistamines that may be included in other medications. Children, pregnant or nursing women, the elderly, and individuals with liver, kidney, or heart disease must consult a specialist before use; also consult a doctor if there are persistent coughs or severe symptoms. If symptoms such as rash, vomiting, swelling, dizziness, or difficulty breathing occur during treatment, stop using the medication immediately and consult a healthcare professional. Do not use in children under 2 years of age, and only seek medical advice if absolutely necessary. Always adhere to the specified dosage and schedule during use, avoid prolonged use, and refrain from alcohol consumption. Also, as drowsiness may occur, it is advisable to refrain from driving or operating machinery, and be aware that the risk of side effects may increase when used in conjunction with certain medications, so consult a professional.
