Cleargut Adverse Reactions

Summary of the safety profile: Flatulence may occur during the first few days of treatment. As a rule it disappears after a few days. When dosages higher than instructed are used, abdominal pain and diarrhea may occur. In such a case the dosage should be decreased.
If high doses (normally only associated with hepatic encephalopathy, HE) are used for an extended period of time, the patient may experience an electrolyte imbalance due to diarrhea.
