Laxeol-Pi Tablets

Laxeol-Pi Tablets

Description:

Laxeol-Pi is a stimulant laxative medicine containing sodium picosulfate, designed for the short-term relief of constipation and for bowel emptying prior to medical procedures. It acts locally in the large intestine, where it is activated by intestinal bacteria to stimulate natural peristalsis and promote effective bowel evacuation. Laxeol-Pi is intended for use under medical supervision, especially when used for bowel preparation before surgery or diagnostic investigations.

Indications:

• Short-term treatment of occasional constipation.
• Facilitates bowel emptying in cases of sluggish bowel movements or hard stools.
• Preparation of the bowel prior to surgery, childbirth, or radiological/endoscopic investigation of the gastrointestinal tract (as directed by a physician).
• Relief of constipation-related symptoms such as abdominal discomfort, bloating, and a feeling of incomplete evacuation.

Active Ingredients / Key Components:

• Sodium picosulfate – concentration per tablet is not specified in the available data (information on exact mg strength is unavailable).

Dosage & Administration / How to Use:

• Use exactly as prescribed by your doctor or as directed on the product packaging.
• Adults and adolescents: typical dosing for sodium picosulfate tablets is once daily, usually in the evening, to produce a bowel movement the following morning. The exact dose (number of tablets) must be confirmed by the healthcare provider, as the precise tablet strength for Laxeol-Pi is not available.
• Children: use only on a doctor’s recommendation. Dose must be adjusted according to age and body weight and should not be given without medical advice.
• Tablets should be swallowed with a sufficient amount of water. They may be taken with or without food.
• For bowel preparation before surgery or diagnostic procedures, dosing schedule and timing are determined strictly by the physician or hospital protocol.
• Do not use for more than a few days without medical supervision, as prolonged use of stimulant laxatives may lead to dependence or electrolyte imbalance.

Clinical Benefits:

• Provides effective short-term relief from constipation by stimulating natural bowel movements.
• Acts locally in the colon with minimal systemic absorption, reducing the risk of systemic side effects.
• Helps ensure adequate bowel cleansing before surgery, childbirth, or gastrointestinal investigations when used as directed.
• Improves comfort by reducing constipation-related symptoms such as bloating, abdominal fullness, and straining.

Warnings & Contraindications:

• Do not use if you are allergic (hypersensitive) to sodium picosulfate or any component of the product (excipients not specified in available information).
• Contraindicated in cases of intestinal obstruction, acute surgical abdominal conditions (such as acute appendicitis), severe abdominal pain of unknown origin, inflammatory bowel disease in active phase, or severe dehydration.
• Do not use in patients with severe electrolyte disturbances (e.g., significant hypokalemia) unless under strict medical supervision.
• Use with caution in elderly patients or those with kidney or liver impairment, as they may be more susceptible to fluid and electrolyte imbalance.
• Excessive or long-term use of stimulant laxatives may cause dependence, decreased bowel function, and electrolyte disturbances.
• Consult your doctor before use if pregnant or nursing. Sodium picosulfate should be used during pregnancy or breastfeeding only if clearly needed and under medical supervision.
• Consult your doctor before use if you are taking other medications, especially diuretics, corticosteroids, cardiac glycosides (e.g., digoxin), or broad-spectrum antibiotics, as these may alter electrolyte balance or reduce the effect of sodium picosulfate.
• Stop use and seek medical advice if you experience persistent abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, or if constipation persists despite treatment.
• Consult your doctor before use if you have heart disease, kidney disease, liver disease, or a history of electrolyte imbalance.
• Not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease beyond its approved indication as a laxative.
• Keep out of reach of children.

Side Effects:

• Common: abdominal cramps, colicky abdominal pain, increased bowel sounds, loose stools or diarrhea.
• Less common: nausea, vomiting, bloating, flatulence.
• With prolonged or high-dose use: risk of dehydration, electrolyte disturbances (such as low potassium), dizziness or weakness due to fluid loss.
• Allergic reactions (rash, itching, swelling, difficulty breathing) are rare but require immediate medical attention.
• If you experience severe or persistent diarrhea, severe abdominal pain, blood in stools, or signs of dehydration (dry mouth, intense thirst, reduced urination, dizziness), stop taking the product and seek medical advice promptly.
