Product introduction

Cadilose Enema can be taken with or without food. You should take this medicine as advised by your doctor. Use this medicine regularly to get the maximum benefit and try to take it at the same time(s) each day. Your dose may go up or down depending on how well it is working. Do not take more than you are advised to and, if you miss a dose, do not take an extra one to make up for it. This medicine takes at least 48 hours to work. Talk to your doctor if you are still constipated after 3 days.

The most common side effects are nausea and vomiting. These are usually mild and go away after a couple of days. Occasionally, people develop serious side effects, including severe diarrhea and electrolyte imbalance. Talk to your doctor straight away if you notice any of these.

Before taking this medicine, you should tell your doctor if you have diabetes or if you are unable to digest milk sugar (lactose intolerant). If you use this medicine over a long period of time, your doctor may want you to have occasional blood tests to check the mineral levels (e.g., potassium and sodium). Do not take other laxative medicines while taking this medicine, and check with your doctor if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.

Benefits of Cadilose Enema

Treatment of Hepatic encephalopathy
Hepatic encephalopathy is a severe liver disease that can cause changes in brain function leading to confusion, tremors (shaking), sleep problems, and loss of consciousness. Cadilose Enema is thought to work by lowering the level of a substance called ammonia in the blood which has harmful effects on the brain. If taken as prescribed, it can improve your brain function and reduce symptoms associated with hepatic encephalopathy.

How Cadilose Enema works

Cadilose Enema works by drawing water into the intestine through osmosis, which makes the stool soft and easier to pass.

Quick tips

Cadilose Enema is used in the treatment of constipation and hepatic encephalopathy.
It should preferably be taken at bedtime as it requires 6 to 8 hours to show effect.
It is usually taken once a day as needed for up to 2 weeks. Take it exactly as prescribed by the doctor.
Take it atleast 2 hours after taking other medicines, as it may interfere with the absorption of other medicines.
Inform your doctor if you have a history of stomach disorders such as appendicitis or a blockage in your bowel.
Some healthy tips to prevent constipation from happening:
- Eat more fiber in your diet. Recommended daily intake is 20-35g

Frequently asked questions

How long does it take for Cadilose Enema to work?

It takes about 2-3 days to see the benefits of the treatment. Talk to your doctor if you feel constipated even after 3 days of taking Cadilose Enema.

What is Cadilose Enema used for?

Cadilose Enema is used to treat constipation which is presented as infrequent bowel movements, hard and dry stools. It is also used in patients with hepatic encephalopathy which is a serious liver problem causing confusion, tremors and decreased level of consciousness.

Is Cadilose Enema a laxative?

Yes, Cadilose Enema is a laxative which softens the stools by pulling in water from the body to the large intestine. It is also used to reduce the amount of ammonia in the blood of patients with liver disease.

What are the side effects of taking Cadilose Enema?

Cadilose Enema very commonly causes diarrhea, flatulence, nausea, vomiting and abdominal pain. Diarrhea and abdominal pain occur due to a high dose. In such cases, the dose should be reduced. Flatulence may occur during the first few days of treatment and may disappear after sometime. This medicine may also cause electrolyte imbalance. However, this is an uncommon side effect.

Is it okay to take Cadilose Enema every day?

You should take Cadilose Enema for as long as advised by your doctor. You may also take it for as long as constipation lasts, which may be up to a week. For hepatic encephalopathy, the treatment may be longer, even several months.

Who should not be given Cadilose Enema?

Cadilose Enema should not be given to patients who are allergic to it or are intolerant to lactose (cannot process lactose). It should also be avoided in patients having galactosemia, a rare health problem where the body cannot process galactose.

Can I take other laxatives along with Cadilose Enema?

Usually, one laxative is sufficient to relieve constipation. In case you need more, your doctor may advise you to take one more laxative along with Cadilose Enema. The risk of side effects is more with two laxatives.

What if I take more than the recommended dose of Cadilose Enema?

Taking more than the recommended dose of Cadilose Enema may cause abdominal pain, electrolyte imbalance and diarrhea, which may last for a couple of days.
