Overview

•Not suitable for pregnant or breastfeeding women due to potential uterine stimulation from aloe, senna, and rhubarb; consult physician if applicable.
•May interact with diuretics, heart medications, or potassium-lowering drugs due to laxative components depleting electrolytes; monitor if on such therapies.
•Citric acid and water base pose no significant risks, but product must be refrigerated post-opening to prevent microbial growth.
•Avoid in cases of intestinal blockage, inflammatory bowel disease, or dehydration, as herbal laxatives can exacerbate these conditions.
