About the excessive effect of laxatives and the time to stop laxatives

One of the signs by which the need to stop relaxation is recognized is thirst. If a person continues to weaken, but thirst does not occur, then there is no need to fear that excessive weakening has occurred. However, thirst occurs not only from excessive or excessive weakness, but also occurs due to the condition of the stomach. If the nature of the stomach is hot or dry, or both, then thirst quickly appears. Thirst is also caused by the medicine if it is sharp and burning. The cause of thirst can be the bad juice itself, if it is of a hot nature, such as bile. In the presence of such causes, it is possible that thirst will come quickly, just as if there are opposite causes, thirst will come late. In all cases, when you see that thirst is becoming excessive, and the relief does not decrease, then stop the latter, especially when there are no reasons accelerating the onset of thirst. In such cases, you should not delay stopping the relaxation until thirst appears.

Often, sufficient withdrawal of what needed to be withdrawn is a sign that the relaxation needs to be stopped. If, during the removal of bile, the relaxation reaches the point of mucus secretion, then know that it has become excessive. There is nothing to say about the case when black bile begins to be released. As for blood, its release is very dangerous and destructive.

If someone begins to feel sick after taking a laxative, then let the doctor refer to what is said about cold in the Book of Particular Diseases.
