- Avoid taking a Laxan for more than 1 week, unless prescribed by the doctor, as it leads to dependency on the laxative action to produce a bowel movement.
- Together with Laxan, fiber rich diet containing whole grain bread and cereals, bran, fruits and green leafy vegetables, is essential to maintain healthy bowel function.
- A Laxan should preferably be taken at bedtime because it requires 6 to 8 hours to show impact.
