Guggul is traditionally believed to help the body process fats. Its effects in people are not proven.
This information is written in simple words to help you understand this product. It does not replace advice from your doctor or pharmacist.
Read these points before you start. If any of them apply to you, talk to your doctor or pharmacist first.
- This is a herbal supplement, not a licensed medicine. Its claims have not been checked in the same way as medicines, and scientific evidence for it is limited.
- Do not use it instead of medicine your doctor has prescribed. Do not stop your prescribed medicines without talking to your doctor.
- "Natural" does not always mean safe. Herbs can cause side effects and can interact with medicines.
- Talk to your doctor before using it if you are pregnant, trying to get pregnant or breastfeeding, have a long-term illness, or are having surgery.
- Not for children unless a doctor says so.
- Read the ingredient list on the pack carefully, especially if you have allergies.
- Tell your doctor if you have a thyroid condition or take thyroid medicine, as guggul may affect thyroid hormones.
- Tell your doctor if you take blood thinners, cholesterol medicines, or the contraceptive pill.
- Do not use it if you are pregnant.
- Tell your doctor or pharmacist about every other medicine, vitamin or herbal product you use.
- Keep this product out of the reach and sight of children.
Like all medicines, Shuddha Guggulu can cause side effects, but not everybody gets them.
Common side effects
- Mild stomach upset, wind or loose stools
- Feeling sick
- Skin rash or itching
These are usually mild and often get better as your body gets used to it. Tell your doctor if they bother you or do not go away.
Stop using it and get medical help straight away if you notice:
- Signs of an allergic reaction, such as a rash, swelling of the face or lips, or trouble breathing
- Yellowing of the skin or eyes, dark urine or pale stools (a rare liver reaction to some herbs)
- Any new or worrying symptom after starting it
This is not a complete list. If you notice anything unusual, ask your doctor or pharmacist.
- Follow the dose on the pack. A common adult dose is 1 capsule twice a day after meals.
- Swallow the capsule with water.
If you miss a dose: Take it as soon as you remember, unless it is nearly time for your next dose. Do not take a double dose.
If you use too much: Contact your doctor, a poison control centre or your local emergency number straight away, even if you feel fine. Take the pack with you.
How to store it: Keep it in its original pack at room temperature (below 25°C / 77°F), away from heat, damp and direct sunlight. Do not use it after the expiry date.
