    Special Precautions

    The product should only be used with caution in patients on anti-coagulants or drugs dependent on the liver for metabolism and excretion.
    The following ingredients of Rowachol capsules may cause allergic reactions: Sodium Ethyl Parahydroxybenzoate (E215), Sodium Propyl Parahydroxybenzoate (E217) (possibly delayed).


    Side Effects

    In rare cases, symptoms of belching and mint taste in the mouth have been reported, after meals. These symptoms can be reduced by taking medication on an empty stomach 30 minutes before a meal.
    A small number of patients reported appearance of pain and ulcers in the mouth. This phenomenon is reversible and disappeared soon after stopping treatment.


    Drug interactions

    Rowachol Capsules should only be used with caution in patients on anti-coagulants or drugs dependent on the liver for metabolism and excretion.


    Pregnancy and Lactation

    There is no information on experience of use during human pregnancy. There is no evidence of a teratogenic effect in animals. However, some at least of the ingredients can cross the placenta. The product should therefore only be used during pregnancy or lactation if considered essential by the physician.


    Overdose

    No case of overdose has been reported.
