ALAXA

Description

Indications:
Alaxa is a laxative, which is a medicine that fights constipation. The laxative effect is obtained thanks to the ability of bisacodyl to soften the stool and to increase the speed of intestinal transit.

Alaxa has local activity, it acts by direct contact with the intestinal mucosa.

How to use:
Alaxa Gastroresistant Tablets should be used in the following doses:

Adults: 2 tablets per day. In particularly stubborn cases, 3 tablets.

Children over 3 years: 1-2 tablets per day (0.3 mg / kg) under the direct supervision of the doctor.

The correct dose is the minimum sufficient to produce 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.

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. The tablets should be swallowed whole, without chewing, together with an adequate quantity of water (a large glass).

If taken on an empty stomach, the laxative effect occurs within about 5 hours. 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. A diet rich in liquids favors the effect of the medicine.
