There is some scientific evidence to support the use of the plant for some of these conditions. For example, studies have shown that Phyllanthus niruri may be effective in preventing kidney stones from forming and in treating hepatitis B. However, more research is needed to confirm these findings.

It is generally safe when taken by mouth in recommended doses. However, it can cause some side effects, such as stomach upset, diarrhoea, and headache. It can also interact with some medications, so it is important to talk to your doctor before taking this traditional medicine if you are taking any other medications.
