Q Is the herbal medicine used for childhood constipation safe?
A It is prescribed in pediatric-specific doses, with strict limits on the amount of purgative herbs.
Detailed Answer
The herbs used for childhood constipation (purgative ingredients such as rhubarb and mirabilite) are limited to one-quarter or less of an adult prescription, and are precisely adjusted to the child's weight, age, and digestive condition. We use products from GMP-certified manufacturers.
Korean Medicine Clinic Perspective
At Dongjedang, we minimize strong purgative ingredients and base prescriptions on herbs that strengthen digestion and replenish body fluids. As a principle, we compose prescriptions that do not cause dependence even with long-term use.
