This medication should not be used in patients undergoing dialysis treatment. This medication contains lactose, so it should not be administered to patients with galactose intolerance or specific lactose enzyme deficiencies, as well as those with genetic issues such as glucose-galactose malabsorption. Patients allergic or hypersensitive to soybean oil, soy, or peanuts should not take this medication. Patients who have previously experienced allergic reactions to this drug or are currently taking other medications should use it with caution.

If symptoms such as decreased urine output, swelling in the face or extremities, heaviness of eyelids, stiffness of hands, increased blood pressure, or headaches occur, discontinue use immediately and consult a specialist. Long-term use may lead to symptoms of hyperaldosteronism, such as hypokalemia, increased blood pressure, fluid retention, swelling, or weight gain; therefore, serum potassium levels should be monitored regularly. Muscle pathology symptoms such as muscle weakness, cramps, or paralysis may occur due to hypokalemia; discontinuation should be considered if these symptoms appear. Care should be taken when concurrently taking potassium-containing or licorice-containing medications and certain diuretics, as the risk of hyperaldosteronism or hypokalemia may increase. If allergic symptoms such as rash or itching occur while using this medication, discontinue use immediately and consult a specialist. Rarely, symptoms such as drowsiness, dizziness, fatigue, headache, constipation, or dry mouth may occur; if these symptoms arise, use should be stopped and a doctor or pharmacist consulted. Palpitations or liver function abnormalities may occur rarely; if any unusual symptoms arise, consult a specialist. Adhere strictly to the prescribed dosage and application, and if symptoms do not improve after two weeks of use, discontinue and consult. Long-term continuous use should be avoided, and patients with a history of kidney disease should consult a specialist before taking. Patients at risk of fat overload should monitor blood lipid levels and adjust the dosage accordingly. This medication should not be taken in combination with gastrointestinal analgesics or antispasmodics. Children under 15 years old, pregnant women, those who may become pregnant, or breastfeeding women should not take this medication.
