What is the most important information I should know about Kecap?

• Kecap may cause dizziness, light-headedness, or fainting; alcohol, hot weather, exercise, or fever may increase these effects. To prevent them, sit up or stand slowly, especially in the morning. Sit or lie down at the first sign of any of these effects. If light-headedness occurs, especially during the first few days of treatment, contact your doctor.
• Dehydration, excessive sweating, vomiting, or diarrhea may increase the risk of low blood pressure. Contact your health care provider at once if any of these occur.
• Do not take more than the recommended dose or stop taking Kecap without checking with your doctor.
• Kecap may cause a dry, unproductive cough. If caused by Kecap, this symptom usually stops after treatment with Kecap is stopped.
