Dosage

Midro tea is effective even in small quantities.The intake should start with small amounts, e.g. 1/4 or 1/2 teaspoon.The dosage can be increased individually, but the maximum daily dose of one teaspoon (corresponding to 30 mg of hydroxyanthracene derivative) should not be exceeded.The correct dosage is the lowest required to achieve soft-formed stools.

Intake

Midro tea can be taken in different ways: the tea leaves can be chewed and swallowed, taken with a little liquid or stirred into yogurt.Alternatively, the tea mixture can be made with cold or lukewarm water, strained after 20 minutes and sweetened to taste.The effect occurs after approx. 8-12 hours, so it is recommended to take it before going to bed.

Patient information

Stimulant laxatives such as Midro tea should not be taken over a longer period of time (more than 1-2 weeks) or in large quantities.Taking anything longer than this short-term use can lead to increased intestinal sluggishness.The medicine should only be used if a sufficient effect cannot be achieved through a change in diet or swelling preparations.

Pregnancy

Due to insufficient toxicological studies, Midro tea should not be used during pregnancy or breastfeeding.

Notes

Midro tea should not be taken for longer than a week and not in higher doses (more than 1 measuring spoon per day).It is usually sufficient to take Midro tea two to three times a week.If constipation lasts longer than 1 week, see a doctor.
