They say to chase it with OJ to counteract the taste.  But it doesn't cause harm to the baby!  Just diarrhea for you, stomach pains, cramps and that's what is suppose to bring on the contractions!

Good Luck

i dont think its harmful just if u talk it make sure to drink ALOT of water because it makes u have diarea i took it for both my children and it was fine and my dr didnt say anything about it but it does work for most cases as long as the baby is ready to come out
