Product Description

Laxative Microenemas

Indications

Short-term treatment of occasional constipation

Directions for use and dosage

The correct dose is the minimum sufficient to produce easy evacuation. It is advisable to initially use the minimum recommended doses. Adults and adolescents (12-18 years): 1 single-dose adult container of 6.75 g as needed, for a maximum of 1 or 2 administrations per day. Children aged 6-11 years: 1 single-dose child container of 4.5 g as needed, for a maximum of 1 or 2 administrations per day. Children aged 2-6 years: 1 single-dose infant container of 2.75 g as needed, for a maximum of 1 or 2 administrations per day. Instructions for use: remove the cap. During the operation, never grasp the bellows, otherwise the medicine will leak before use. It may be useful to lubricate the cannula with a drop of the solution itself, before inserting it into the rectum and pressing the bellows. Remove the cannula while keeping the bellows pressed. Each container must be used for a single administration; any residual medicine must be eliminated. In children under twelve years of age, the medicine can be used only after consulting a doctor. Laxatives should be used as infrequently as possible and for no more than seven days. A diet rich in liquids promotes the effect of the medicine.

Warnings

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. Treatment of chronic or recurrent constipation always requires medical intervention for diagnosis, medication prescription, 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 with consequent 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 concomitantly treated 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 first of all to correct eating habits by integrating 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 a day to help soften the stool.

PREGNANCY AND BREASTFEEDING

No adequate and well-controlled studies have been conducted on the use of the medicine during pregnancy or breastfeeding. Although there are no obvious contraindications to the use of the medicine during pregnancy and breastfeeding, it is recommended to take the medicine only when necessary and under medical supervision.
