There are no serious side-effects of consuming Giloy since it is a natural and safe herbal remedy. However, in some cases - the use of Giloy can cause constipation and lower blood sugar levels. So if your father are diabetic and have been consuming Giloy on a long-term basis, monitor his blood sugar levels regularly. As your father is suffering from other disease also so, before suggesting you I need more information related to tour father's health issue.
