the label of the product you received dispensing labeland the instructions from the dispensing institution take priority. Do not arbitrarily refrigerate or freeze products that do not have refrigeration instructions, and do not repeatedly take refrigerated products out and put them back in, as this causes condensation.

What should I do if I failed to follow the storage conditions?
Record the amount of time refrigerated Korean herbal medicine was left at room temperature, the time it was exposed to a vehicle or sunlight, the date the packaging was opened, and the sealing status. Since cooling or freezing it again does not restore it to its previous state, do not take it arbitrarily and storage historyprovide this information to the dispensing institution.
If the color, smell, or viscosity has changed, or if the packaging is leaking or bloated, do not check by tasting it.

Write the result of your inquiry and the new storage instructions near the label to prevent the same situation from recurring.
