Directions for Use

• Avoid taking a Phenolphthalein for more than 1 week, unless prescribed by the doctor, as it leads to dependency on the laxative action to produce a bowel movement. 

• Take Phenolphthalein after 2 hours from other medicines, as it may interfere with the absorption of other medicines.
• Phenolphthalein should be preferably taken at bedtime because it requires 6 to 8 hours to show impact
