Gokshura is a herb, but it is meant to release toxins through urine, also it removes excess water from the body. Best time to take is morning or early evening as it has tendency to urge for frequent urine. Once your problem is solved one needs to stop the medicine.it is safe so no time line, but prefer taking till problem solves.
