Storage Conditions

Review the efficacy, dosage, side effects, and precautions regarding storage conditions. This refers to the guided temperature, humidity, light, sealing, and post-opening management conditions to maintain product quality. If the color, smell, or viscosity has changed, or if the packaging is leaking or swollen, do not taste it to check. Also, withhold administration if the medicine has been mixed with a family member's Korean herbal medicine or if the label is lost and the prescription cannot be identified. Write the results of your inquiry and new storage instructions near the label to prevent the same situation from recurring.
