How long can one use Manasamitra vatakam?

Question

Hello doctor,

Before five years, I consulted an Ayurvedic doctor. I was suffering from hyperthyroid back pain. I then had a concentration problem in all aspects of life. So I asked the doctor to suggest me some Ayurvedic medicine for that. The doctor asked me to take Manasmitra vatakam from Kotakkal arya vaidya sala, the dosage of one tablet twice a day. To date, I am taking it. The doctor told me that it does not have any side effects. Till now, I have had no side effects because of this. I feel focused and less anxious. I just wanted to ask if it will be done or if I have to continue with these two tablets. Will it have any side effects in the long run? I am still taking medicines from the same brand.

Please help.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

Manasmitra Vatkam is a good product and has no side effects in general. But it is always advised to take it under supervision only, so if tapering off the medication is required or dose adjustment is required only your physician can do that. Also only for anxiety bouts, it is not advisable for long periods. I advise you to visit your ayurvedic physician who prescribed you to take it and ask for the complete clinical psychological examination and then take it accordingly. I hope you understand my point.

I hope this helps.

Thank you.
