Frequently Asked Questions
Is this a real medicine?
It is a regulated Ayurvedic / herbal product manufactured under WHO-GMP standards. It is appropriate for supportive use; it is not a substitute for prescription medication in established gastrointestinal or hepatic disease.
Can I take it instead of my prescription?
No. If you have been prescribed a PPI, prokinetic, antibiotic, immunosuppressant, or hepatology drug, continue it. Discuss adding herbal therapy with the prescriber.
Will it interact with my other medications?
Tell every prescriber and pharmacist about herbal supplements. Particularly important with warfarin, antiepileptics, immunosuppressants, and chemotherapy.
Is it safe in pregnancy?
Limited safety data on most herbal products. Avoid unless specifically advised by an obstetric prescriber.
How long should I take it?
For symptomatic indigestion / bloating: until symptoms resolve. For hepatoprotection: typically 4–12 weeks active phase, then re-evaluate with LFTs. Long-term use should be reviewed periodically.
What about herb-induced liver injury?
Some traditional Ayurvedic preparations have been linked to liver injury in international registries, often through contamination (heavy metals, undisclosed allopathic ingredients, or other adulterants). Buy from regulated manufacturers; report new jaundice, dark urine, fatigue, or right-upper-quadrant pain promptly.
Is it vegetarian / halal / kosher?
Most Himalaya botanical products are vegetarian. Confirm the specific certification on the pack if relevant.
How is it different from conventional medication?
It is intended as supportive or symptomatic therapy, not as a disease-modifying or guideline-led intervention. Use alongside, not instead of, evidence-based prescriptions.
Storage
Below 25°C in a dry place. Keep out of reach of children.
What if I miss a dose?
Take it when you remember. Do not double up.
