Special Warnings

Laxatives should be used as infrequently as possible and for no more than seven days. Use for longer periods requires a doctor's prescription after appropriate evaluation of the individual case. The treatment of chronic or recurrent constipation always requires medical intervention for diagnosis, prescription of medications, and monitoring during therapy. Elderly or otherwise ill patients should consult their doctor before using the medicine. Laxative abuse can cause persistent diarrhea, resulting in a loss of water, minerals (especially potassium), and other essential nutrients. In more severe cases, dehydration or hypokalemia may develop, which can lead to cardiac or neuromuscular dysfunction, especially when treated concomitantly with cardiac glycosides, diuretics, or corticosteroids. Laxative abuse, especially contact laxatives (stimulant laxatives), can cause dependence (and thus 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 to 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. Important information about some excipients: not applicable.
