Suggested Use
Directions of Use
Adults: Take 2–6 capsules in a single dose the same day, two to three times per week. Allow at least 6 to 12 hours for laxative effect to occur. If results are not observed, the frequency of use may be increased up to once daily. The correct individual dose is the smallest required to produce a soft-formed stool. If you are taking other medications or natural health products, take this product a few hours before or after them.
Duration of use: Consult a health-care practitioner for use beyond 7 days.
Warnings
Contains no: Gluten, soy, wheat, corn, eggs, dairy, yeast, citrus, preservatives, artificial flavour or colour, starch, or sugar.
Cautions and warnings: Consult a health-care practitioner if symptoms persist or worsen. Consult a health-care practitioner prior to use if you are taking cardiac medications such as cardiac glycosides or antiarrhythmic medications, thiazide diuretics, corticosteroids, licorice root, or any other medication or health product which may aggravate electrolyte imbalance; or if you have a kidney disorder, fecal impaction, or symptoms such as abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, or fever. Reduce dose or discontinue use if you experience abdominal pain, cramps, spasms and/or diarrhea. Call a Poison Control Center immediately if overdose or accidental ingestion occurs.
Contraindications: Do not use if you are pregnant or breast-feeding; if you have abnormal constrictions of the gastrointestinal tract, potential or existing intestinal blockage, atonic bowel, appendicitis, inflammatory colon disease such as Crohn’s disease or ulcerative colitis, abdominal pain of unknown origin, undiagnosed rectal bleeding, severe dehydration with depleted water or electrolytes, or diarrhea; if you have hypokalemia, high blood pressure, or a kidney or cardiovascular disorder; if you have arthritis. Contraindicated in those with a weak stomach and those who do not have constipation.
Known adverse reactions: Discontinue use if hypersensitivity/allergy occurs. With chronic use or abuse, disturbances of electrolyte balance—especially potassium deficiency, albuminuria, and hematuria—may occur; rectal bleeding or failure to have a bowel movement after the use of a laxative may indicate a serious condition. May cause cramp-like discomfort of the gastrointestinal tract, which may require a reduction of dosage. The astringent effect of rhubarb may exacerbate, rather than relieve, symptoms of constipation.
