Phalax Laxative

Phalax Laxative should be taken in a dose as advised by your doctor. Take it at a fixed time at night. You should not use this medicine for more than a few days unless your doctor tells you to. Some lifestyle changes can help with constipation, for example, eating more fiber in foods such as fruit, vegetables, and cereals, drinking plenty of fluids, and taking regular exercise.

The most common side effects of taking this medicine are nausea, vomiting, hypermagnesemia, dizziness, and headache. These are usually mild and go away after a couple of days. If they persist, your doctor may suggest ways of preventing or reducing them.

Before using this medicine, you should tell your doctor if you have a blockage in your bowel, an upset stomach, or if your bowel movements have been different for more than two weeks.

• Treatment of Constipation

• Together with Phalax Laxative, taking a fiber-rich diet containing whole grain bread and cereals, bran, fruits, and green leafy vegetables is essential to maintain healthy bowel function.
• Avoid taking a Phalax Laxative for more than 1 week, unless prescribed by the doctor, as it leads to dependency on the laxative action to produce a bowel movement.
• Take Phalax Laxative after 2 hours from other medicines, as it may interfere with the absorption of other medicines.
• Phalax Laxative should preferably be taken at bedtime because it requires 6 to 8 hours to show impact.
