What you need to know before taking the medicine
Do not use TISANA KELEMATA in case of:
Hypersensitivity to the active substance or to any of the excipients. Presence of acute or unknown abdominal pain, nausea or vomiting, intestinal obstruction or stenosis, rectal bleeding of unknown origin, severe dehydration.


Warnings and precautions
Treatment of chronic or recurrent constipation always requires medical attention for diagnosis, medication prescription, and monitoring throughout treatment. Consult your doctor when the need for a laxative arises from a sudden change in previous bowel habits (characteristic frequency of bowel movements) that lasts more than two weeks, when constipation is persistent, or when laxative use fails to work.

Laxative abuse (frequent or prolonged use, or excessive doses) can cause persistent diarrhea, resulting in the loss of water, minerals (especially potassium), and other essential nutrients. In more severe cases, dehydration or hypokalemia (low blood potassium) can develop, which can lead to cardiac or neuromuscular dysfunction, especially when concomitantly treated with cardiac glycosides, diuretics, or corticosteroids. Laxative abuse, especially contact laxatives (stimulant laxatives), can cause dependence (and thus the possible need to gradually increase the dosage), chronic constipation, and loss of normal intestinal function (intestinal atony). First of all, it should be noted that, in most cases, a balanced diet rich in water and fiber (bran, vegetables, and fruit) can provide lasting relief from constipation. Many people believe they are constipated if they are unable to have a daily bowel movement. This is a misconception, as this condition is completely normal for a large number of individuals. Instead, consider that constipation occurs when bowel movements are less frequent than usual and are associated with hard stools. If constipation episodes occur repeatedly or if you have noticed any recent changes in their characteristics, you should consult your doctor.


Possible side effects
Like all medicines, TISANA KELEMATA can cause side effects. Following the instructions in the package leaflet reduces the risk of side effects. Occasionally: isolated cramping pain or abdominal cramps, more frequent in cases of severe constipation. With use of the product, urine sometimes becomes slightly yellow-brown or red. This coloration is simply due to the presence of senna components in the urine and is not clinically significant. Continued use of laxatives can cause habituation or other types of damage. These side effects are generally temporary. However, if they occur, it is advisable to consult your doctor or pharmacist. It is important to report any side effects not described in the package leaflet to your doctor or pharmacist.
