Caution
The preparation is only intended for short-term use, no longer than one to two weeks. Chronic use of ever-increasing doses can lead to addiction (addiction syndrome), which can cause fluid and electrolyte imbalances.
Administration of the product may cause an imbalance in the level of electrolytes in patients with kidney disorders, so consult a doctor about the use of tea.
If you are using cardiac glycosides (digoxin), antiarrhythmics (medicines against heart rhythm disorders; e.g. amiodarone, verapamil, etc.), diuretics (medicines that increase the production and excretion of urine) or adrenocorticoids, consult your doctor before you start using Laxative Tea Blend.
If you suffer from chronic constipation or other undiagnosed digestive problems (e.g. abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting), consult using the product with your doctor, because these symptoms may be a sign of a serious medical problem (intestinal obstruction).
The product should only be used if it is not possible to improve the difficulties by changing lifestyle (change in eating habits, i.e. intake of more fiber and fluids; increase in physical activity).

During the use of the product, the urine color change (yellow or reddish-brown color, depending on the pH value) may occur, but this is not clinically significant and will disappear spontaneously.

If any unusual reactions occur, stop using the product and consult a doctor.
Do not use after the expiration date stated on the package.

Concomitant use of corticoids and diuretics and licorice may increase this electrolyte imbalance. Any negative effect of licorice contained in the herbal infusion can be suppressed by increased intake of potassium.

Very rare, the product can cause skin reactions (itching, hives, redness of the skin).

With long-term use (or overdose), diarrhea occurs, which leads to excessive loss of water and minerals (especially potassium), which can cause, for example, circulatory or heart disorders.
