Dosage
Dosage
Take 4 capsules three times daily on an empty stomach with warm water. Dissolve (GS) must be taken continuously for at least three months. In cases of multiple or large
stones, the treatment should be continued until the stones are dissolved or passed out. In cases where the patient feels severe discomfort, pain or sensation of obstruction after
taking the herbs, reduce the dosage as they may be signs that the big stones are becoming obstructed. In such cases, reduce the dosage to a level comfortable to the patient
and stretch the treatment period so the stones can be dissolved and flushed slowly. Dissolve (GS) can also be taken after surgery to prevent formation of new stones. In such
cases, take 2 capsules a day for three months and 1 capsule per day for another six months.
