1. although kayam churan is safe herbal remedy, but it can make your body dependent to drug, as a result you might not get motion once you are away from it.

PS. Very high dose of Kayam churna may cause severe stomach pain, diarrhea and dehydration.

2. because it is not Traditional but Proprietary Ayurveda Medicine and has not been approved by FDA [food & drug authority] thus it may not be advisable to take in pregnancy.

PS. Kayam Churna contains yashtimadhu, thus people with high blood pressure, impaired blood sugar,high potassium levels need to take this only under medical supervision.

3. for a long term and permanent cure for constipation, lifestyle changes and fiber rich diet plan is the solution.
