Warnings

In children under twelve years of age, the medicine can only be used after consulting a doctor. Laxatives should be used as infrequently as possible and for no more than seven days. Use for longer periods of time requires a doctor's prescription after adequate evaluation of the individual case. The treatment of chronic or recurrent constipation always requires the intervention of a doctor for diagnosis, prescription of medications, and monitoring during therapy. It is also advisable for elderly or otherwise unhealthy individuals to consult their doctor before using the medicine. Laxative abuse can cause persistent diarrhea, resulting in the loss of water, mineral salts (especially potassium), and other essential nutrients. In more severe cases of abuse, dehydration or hypokalemia may occur, which can lead to cardiac or neuromuscular dysfunction, especially when used concomitantly with cardiac glycosides, diuretics, or corticosteroids. Laxative abuse, especially contact laxatives (stimulant laxatives), can cause dependence (and therefore the possible need to gradually increase the dosage), chronic constipation, and loss of normal intestinal function (intestinal atony). In cases of constipation, it is recommended to first correct eating habits by supplementing the daily diet with an adequate intake of fiber and water. When using laxatives, it is advisable to drink at least 6-8 glasses of water or other liquids per day to help soften the stool. Interactions: No specific interaction studies have been performed.
