Clinical judgment and consultation with a healthcare professional are recommended. Some sources suggest 1 tablet twice daily for older children. ## Dose Adjustments * No specific dose adjustments for hepatic or renal impairment are established due to its herbal nature and lack of formal pharmacokinetic studies. Use with caution in patients with significant organ dysfunction. ## Contraindications * Known hypersensitivity to any of the ingredients. * Pregnancy and breastfeeding (due to lack of safety data). ## Adverse Effects Adverse effects are generally reported as rare and mild, but may include: * Gastrointestinal upset * Allergic reactions ## Key Drug Interactions * Limited formal drug interaction studies exist.
