Avoid claiming that the extract heals wounds, treats varicose veins, resolves swelling or speeds injury recovery. Those statements are substantially stronger than the current official manufacturer wording.

Adults prescribed Gotu Kola as part of an individualised herbal protocol

Professional formulations supporting capillary and peripheral circulation

Practitioner-selected tissue-support preparations

Adults requiring a standardised liquid extract rather than tablets or capsules

People whose liver health, medicines and potential sedative use have been professionally reviewed

Gotu Kola (Centella asiatica) leaf 1:1 liquid extract.

Standardised triterpene content: Confirm against the current Australian bottle label before publishing.

Contains ethanol 45% v/v.

The GhamaHealth page currently states 20 mg/mL of triterpenes, while the official manufacturer page states 18 mg/mL. Do not guess between them.

Adults: Take 15–40 mL per week, or as directed by a qualified healthcare practitioner.

This is a weekly dosage range and must not be interpreted as 15–40 mL per day.

The official manufacturer’s suggested use of 5 mL daily equals 35 mL per week and sits within the current GhamaHealth range. Follow the current Australian label or your practitioner’s prescribed amount.

Shake well before use.

Measure the prescribed amount carefully.

Dilute the oral amount in water or juice immediately before taking.

Take only according to the current label or your healthcare practitioner’s directions.

Do not exceed the recommended or professionally prescribed amount.

Do not increase the dosage because skin, circulation, swelling or cognitive concerns remain present.

The current page includes a practitioner cream-compounding direction of 5 mL in 45 g of MediHerb Vitamin E Cream. Keep this separate from the oral directions and label it clearly as practitioner-directed topical compounding.

Do not apply the undiluted oral extract directly to open wounds, infected skin or damaged tissue.

No added gluten or dairy.

Vegan-friendly.

Do not use if you have a known allergy or sensitivity to Gotu Kola or another ingredient in the preparation.

Topical Gotu Kola preparations may occasionally cause allergic skin reactions. Stop use if rash, itching, swelling or worsening irritation develops.

Always check the current product label where allergies or dietary sensitivities are present.

For practitioner dispensing and professionally guided use.

Always read the label and follow the directions for use.

Do not use if you have a known allergy to Gotu Kola.

Use during pregnancy or breastfeeding only when specifically directed by a qualified healthcare practitioner. The official manufacturer does not recommend routine use during pregnancy or breastfeeding without professional direction.

Consult your healthcare practitioner before use if you have liver disease, abnormal liver-function results or a previous reaction to Gotu Kola.

Rare cases of clinically apparent liver injury and jaundice have been associated with oral Centella asiatica. Stop use and seek medical advice for yellowing of the skin or eyes, dark urine, pale stools, persistent nausea, unusual fatigue or upper abdominal pain.

Do not restart Gotu Kola after suspected liver injury unless specifically advised by a medical professional.

Gotu Kola may cause drowsiness in some people.

Consult your healthcare practitioner before combining it with sleeping medicines, benzodiazepines, sedatives, alcohol or other central nervous system depressants because increased sedation may occur.

Do not drive or operate machinery if you feel drowsy, dizzy or less alert.

Professional review is important if you take antiseizure medication. Current MediHerb interaction guidance identifies a low or theoretical potential for altered seizure control or medicine effectiveness.

Do not use this product as a substitute for medical assessment of non-healing wounds, infected skin, severe swelling, suspected blood clots, varicose ulcers, neurological symptoms or progressive memory changes.

Sudden one-sided leg swelling, redness, warmth, severe pain, chest pain or shortness of breath requires urgent medical attention.

Discontinue use at least seven days before general anaesthesia unless otherwise directed by your healthcare professional.

Contains ethanol.

Keep out of reach of children.

Store below 25°C in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and excessive heat.

Keep the bottle tightly closed when not in use.

Follow any additional storage instructions printed on the current Australian product label.

Any professionally prepared topical cream should be stored and discarded according to the practitioner’s instructions.
