Constipation is a common problem in adults and children for numerous reasons. Changes in diet, new medications and illnesses can impact a person's ability to pass stool, which causes discomfort and stomach pains.
Laxido Orange Powder sachets maintain the body's normal sodium and potassium levels while absorbing water into the stool. Taking Laxido Orange sachets for constipation and faecal impaction can regulate your bowel movements and help you enjoy a more active lifestyle.
When to Use Laxido Orange Power Sachets?
Laxido Orange powder sachets are beneficial for chronic constipation, as they introduce water into the bowel, which makes stools easier to pass.
A medical professional may also prescribe Laxido to treat faecal impactions due to long-term constipation issues. A faecal impaction causes hardened stools, but Laxido reduces the symptoms.
Laxido Sachets Age Restrictions
Laxido is suitable for adults and children over 12 years old. However, you shouldn't give the pharmacy medicine to younger children. If a child under 12 is experiencing constipation, there are paediatric formulas that can relieve their symptoms.
How to Use Laxido Orange Powder Sachets?
Laxido is a powerful medication that makes your faeces softer, but you should seek advice from a doctor or registered pharmacist before using it.
Available in both sugar and sugar-free variations, the active substances in Laxido are unsuitable for children under 12. Remember to maintain a regular liquid intake and don't take the medication for more than two weeks.
If your symptoms worsen or don't improve, get medical advice from a doctor immediately. Your GP might want to send you to a specialist or do some tests to reveal the underlying cause.
Dosage Instructions for Adults & Children Over 12:
- Constipation: Take between one sachet and three sachets daily. If you're using Laxido long-term, you should never use more than two sachets daily.
- Impaction: Take eight sachets daily over 6 hours for up to 3 days.
When to Avoid Using Laxido?
Laxido is an effective treatment in general, but there are certain situations where you should avoid it. These include:
- Intestinal Obstruction/Perforation: If there's a hole or blockage in your bowel, using Laxido could worsen your symptoms and even be dangerous.
- Ileus: Ileus is also known as paralysis of the intestines, and it can happen due to infections or after surgery. Again, Laxido can worsen the condition.
- Inflammatory Bowel Problems: People with Crohn's Disease, ulcerative colitis, and toxic megacolon shouldn't use laxatives.
- Allergies: If you're sensitive or have an allergy to any of the ingredients in Laxido, please find an alternative treatment.
Precautions of Laxido Orange Powder Sachets
In some cases, you may be able to use Laxido, but only with express advice from a doctor or registered pharmacist. Please take precautions if any of the following apply:
- Medical Conditions: People with heart disease or kidney problems may experience worse symptoms when they use Laxido.
- Sodium Restrictions: If you're on a restricted sodium diet, check whether Laxido will exceed your recommended daily intake.
- Medications: Laxido may also reduce your body's ability to absorb other medications.
- Prolonged use: If you need to take Laxido for over two weeks or suffer from chronic constipation frequently, it's best to seek medical advice.
