Product Description:
- Rowachol contains essential oils that help to dissolve or break up
- cholesterol-based gallstones. It also reduces the cholesterol content of bile,
- an important digestive juice that is formed in the liver. This may enable
- existing gallstones to dissolve and help prevent new gallstones from
- forming. Rowachol also increases bile production and relaxes the bile
- ducts. This helps reduce painful spasms of the bile ducts. It also makes it
- easier for any gallstones present to be passed out (expelled) with the bile.
- Rowachol Capsules are intended for use in the breaking up (dissolving or
- disintegrating) or passage (expulsion) of gallstones. Use in combination
- with a medicine called chenodeoxycholic acid.
How to use:
- Always take Rowachol exactly as your doctor has told you.
- You should check with your doctor or pharmacist if you are not sure.
- Rowachol must only be taken by swallowing the whole capsule.
- Do not bite or chew the capsules.
- The usual dose for adults:
- Take 1 – 2 capsules three times daily, half an hour before meals. When
- you first start treatment, a dose of one capsule three times daily is
- recommended. Ask your doctor or pharmacist about this.
Caution & Warnings:
- Like all medicines, Rowachol can cause side effects, although not everybody gets them.
- A small number of patients have noted side effects such as:
- belching and a peppermint taste after taking the capsules. (This can be

- Rowachol. If you notice this, consult your doctor.
