Product introduction
Lintide 72 Capsule is a medicine used to treat chronic constipation and irritable bowel syndrome with constipation. It works by increasing fluid in the intestine, making stools easier to pass, and reducing abdominal pain and bloating.
Lintide 72 Capsule must be taken precisely as directed, at least 30 minutes prior to a meal. Take it consistently, at the same time every day, to sustain relief from constipation and abdominal discomfort. Consistency is essential for optimal results, as skipping doses may reduce their effectiveness.
Diarrhea is the most frequent side effect of Lintide 72 Capsule and can occasionally be quite serious. A feeling of fullness, gas, bloating, and stomach pain are additional potential adverse effects. These typically get better with time, but you might need to see a doctor if your symptoms worsen or last longer.
Lintide 72 Capsule should not be used in children under 2 years of age due to the risk of severe dehydration. It is also not recommended for patients with known or suspected intestinal blockage (bowel obstruction). Patients should inform their doctor about any ongoing stomach or bowel problems and report severe or prolonged diarrhea promptly.
