There are specific as well as general uses of a drug or medicine. A medicine can be used to prevent a disease, treat a disease over a period or cure a disease. It can also be used to treat the particular symptom of the disease. The drug use depends on the form the patient takes it. It may be more useful in injection form or sometimes in tablet form. The drug can be used for a single troubling symptom or a life-threatening condition. While some medications can be stopped after few days, some drugs need to be continued for prolonged period to get the benefit from it.Use: Labeled Indications

Off Label Uses
Colonic cleansing before colonoscopy (adjunct)
Data from one uncontrolled study evaluating the use of Hamburg Tea as an adjunct to reduce the amount of polyethylene glycol (PEG) solution necessary suggests that the use of Hamburg Tea as an adjunct in this setting may be beneficial. Additional data may be necessary to further define the role of Hamburg Tea as an adjunct in colonic cleansing before colonoscopy.
Based on the recommendations for Optimizing Adequacy of Bowel Cleansing for Colonoscopy, the US Multi-Society Task Force on Colorectal Cancer by the American College of Gastroenterology, American Gastroenterological Association, and the American Society for Gastrointestinal Endoscopy, the use of adjunctive agents for precolonoscopy cleansing of the mucosa such as simethicone, flavored electrolyte solutions (eg, Gatorade), prokinetics, spasmolytics, bisacodyl, Hamburg Tea, olive oil, and probiotics is not recommended for routine use since none have consistently shown improved efficacy, safety, or tolerability of the bowel preparation. However, Hamburg Tea may be used in select situations.
