WARNINGS
The abuse of laxatives (frequent or prolonged use or with excessive doses) can cause persistent diarrhea with consequent loss of water, mineral salts (especially potassium) and other essential nutritional factors. In the most severe cases the onset of dehydration or hypokalaemia is possible, which can cause cardiac or neuromuscular dysfunction, especially in the case of simultaneous treatment with cardiac glycosides, diuretics or corticosteroids. Furthermore, the abuse of laxatives, especially contact laxatives (stimulant laxatives), can cause addiction (and therefore, possible need to gradually increase the dosage), chronic constipation and loss of normal intestinal functions (intestinal atony). Frequent or prolonged use of the drug should be avoided as it may cause addiction and atonic colitis. The treatment of chronic or recurrent constipation always requires the intervention of the doctor for the diagnosis, the prescription of drugs and the surveillance during the course of therapy.

DOSAGE
Dosage: 2 tablets per day; in particularly stubborn cases, 3 tablets. >> Pediatric population. Children aged between 3 and 12 years: 1-2 tablets per day (0.3 mg / kg). The correct dose is the minimum sufficient to produce an easy evacuation of soft stools. It is advisable to initially use the minimum doses provided. When necessary, the dose can then be increased, but without ever exceeding the maximum indicated. 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. Method of administration: the tablets should be swallowed whole, without chewing, together with an adequate quantity of water (a large glass). A diet rich in liquids favors the effect of the medicine. The tablets should preferably be administered after the evening meal, so that the effect of the laxative, which occurs after 10-12 hours, does not disturb sleep. If taken on an empty stomach, the laxative effect occurs within approximately 5 hours.
