Hi, Shake the bottle well before each dose and carefully measure the dose using a special measuring spoon. If you are taking this medication for constipation, drink 8 ounces of water. Overuse may also cause persistent diarrhea, dehydration and mineral imbalance. Take cold butter milk for better feeling.
