Ma Ren Run Chang Wan has the function of moistening the intestines and promoting bowel movements. It is mainly used for heat accumulation in the stomach and intestines, chest and abdominal distension, and constipation. However, patients should not abuse laxatives. Many constipation patients abuse laxatives without the guidance of a doctor, which will result in more gastrointestinal dysfunction, aggravated constipation, or dependence on laxatives.

No medicine is suitable for long-term use, especially those for clearing the intestines. This is because there is a balance of flora in the human intestine. When there is long-term stimulation from foreign substances, the flora of the intestine itself will be out of balance and a new flora relationship will be established. The intestine will then rely on this substance for a long time to be able to absorb and excrete normally. Once the medicine is separated from it, it will cause imbalance again. Therefore, such medicines, including Ma Ren Wan, should not be taken for a long time.
