AC Z Tablet should be avoided by individuals allergic to it, those with severe liver disease, intestinal inflammation or ulceration (e.g., Crohn's disease), intestinal obstruction, large hernias, or conditions that impair digestion or absorption. It is also not recommended for pregnant or breastfeeding women.
