SIDE EFFECTS AND CAUTIONS

Fortunately, intake of milk thistle or its extract is not known to have any adverse side effects and hence it can be used by everyone, including pregnant and lactating women. However, in some people silymarin may lead to laxative effect as it does not incite the functions of the liver or gall bladder. Even if such side effects occur, they are temporary in nature and end within a couple of days.
