In clinical practice, lecithin can be used as an adjunctive treatment for conditions such as fatty liver disease and atherosclerosis. This medication is generally considered safe for humans; however, it may cause gastrointestinal adverse reactions—such as abdominal pain and diarrhea—in some individuals. If a patient experiences any other unusual symptoms after taking the medication, they should discontinue use immediately and consult their physician for detailed evaluation to determine whether discontinuation or dose reduction is necessary.
