I am curious regarding how the Gorochana will be taken from the cow. Would the cow be specifically slaughtered for this purpose or is it taken from dead cows?

An Ayurvedic doctor has prescribed this gulika for my 5yrs old daughter… After going through this page I m scared… Is it so dangerous for this age? Kindly advice
If it is being advised by an Ayurveda doctor, there is nothing to worry about. Usually it is advised in lower doses for children and the dose is tapered down and the medicine is stopped in a matter of 4 – 6 weeks.

If the symptoms are not very severe, then Ayurvedic treatment can benefit her.
If your doctor has advised it to you, then you can administer this to her.
I have weak digestion. I have been asked to take 2 gorochanad tablets and 2 Livokot tablets each before food two times a day. Is the dosage and taking before food okay
you can take, butthere are lot more treatments for your problem, it is better if you consult an Ayurveda doctor personally.
as it contains heavy metal ingredient and non-vegetarian in nature, though it is good for pneumonia it is better to take it under medical supervision.
though it is indicated in children, dose must be decided after thorough physical examination. online advice for such a small kid is not good. please consult an Ayurveda doctor for the same.

Doctor has prescribed gorochanadi once after food ie after dinner and one tablet (chandra prabha ).As soon as I take the medicine I am getting back pain which intensifies as night progresses.

Hi, probable reason for worsening of back pain in your case is stomach irritation with the products. Hence, stop them and consult your doctor again.
