Hi doctor, I am taking Kalarchikai with pepper and honey after a meal for the past five days for PCOS problem. But I started to have an abdominal cramp and thigh pain (similar to the cramp that occurs during menstrual cramp). What can I do now?
Hi. Kalarchikai is a well-known medicine to manage PCOD (polycystic ovarian diseases). It does not show any side effects when taken under a prescription of ayurvedic or Siddha physicians. You should take two to three grams twice a day after meals. The pain you have now can be a premenstrual pain. Wait for a few days and stop taking this choornam for a few days. After a week, you can start taking it in a recommended dose.
