1. What is LAEVOLAC and what is it used for
Laevolac contains lactulose, a laxative that stimulates intestinal motility.
Laevolac is indicated in adults and children for the short-term treatment of occasional constipation.
Consult your doctor if you and/or your child do not feel better or if you feel worse after 7 days.
2. What you need to know before using LAEVOLAC
Do not use LAEVOLAC if you and/or your child:
- are allergic to lactulose or to any of the other ingredients of this medicine (listed in section 6),
- have abdominal pain, even of unknown origin,
- have nausea or vomiting,
- have an obstruction or narrowing of the intestine (intestinal stenosis),
- have blood loss from the rectum, of unknown origin, suffer from a severe state of dehydration (excessive loss of water from the body).
Warnings and precautions
Consult your doctor or pharmacist before using LAEVOLAC.
Health education notes
First of all, it must be kept in mind that, in most cases, a balanced diet and
rich in water and fiber (bran, vegetables and fruit) can durably solve the problem of
constipation.
Many people think they suffer from constipation if they cannot evacuate every day.
This is a mistaken belief as this situation is perfectly normal for a large number of
individuals.
Instead, consider that constipation occurs when evacuations are reduced compared to
your personal habits and are associated with the emission of hard stools.
If episodes of constipation occur repeatedly, you should consult your doctor.
The treatment of chronic or recurrent constipation always requires the intervention of the doctor for the
diagnosis, prescription of drugs and monitoring during therapy.
Consult your doctor:
- when the need for a laxative derives from a sudden change in previous bowel habits (frequency and characteristics of evacuations) that lasts more than two weeks or when the use of the laxative fails to produce effects.
- if you are elderly or in poor health. Abuse of laxatives Frequent or prolonged use or with excessive doses of laxatives can cause persistent diarrhea with consequent loss of water, mineral salts (especially potassium) and other essential nutrients. In the most severe cases, dehydration (excessive loss of water from the body) or hypokalaemia (decrease in blood potassium) may occur, which can cause cardiac or neuromuscular disorders, especially if you are also taking medicines such as cardiac glycosides (medicines used to treat heart problems), diuretics (medicines that lower blood pressure) or corticosteroids (anti-inflammatory drugs). Abuse of laxatives can cause dependence (possible need to gradually increase the dosage), chronic constipation and intestinal atony (loss of normal intestinal functions).
Other medicines and LAEVOLAC
Tell your doctor or pharmacist if you are taking, have recently taken or might take any
other medicine.
Avoid the simultaneous use of laxatives and other drugs: if you are taking another
medicine, allow at least 2 hours to pass before using the laxative.
Tell your doctor if you are taking:
- Neomycin and other antibiotics (medicines used to treat infections caused by bacteria);
- Digitale (medicine used to treat heart disease).
Pregnancy and breastfeeding
If you are pregnant, suspect you may be pregnant, are planning to become pregnant, or are breastfeeding
with breast milk, ask your doctor or pharmacist for advice before taking this medicine.
The use of this medicine during pregnancy and breastfeeding should be
considered only if necessary and under the direct supervision of a doctor.
