Laxodep

Laxodep is available in the form of a syrup, in a 150 ml bottle, easy to administer, making it convenient for the whole family.

The syrup does not contain sugar, gluten or lactose, making it suitable for people with food intolerances or following specific diets.

Laxodep is indicated for the treatment and prevention of constipation, having a beneficial effect on intestinal transit. It is also recommended for transient intestinal transit disorders and to ease the defecation reflex.

Thanks to its natural ingredients, the product is also suitable for children, including infants and the elderly, who may experience difficulties in regulating their bowel movements.

Laxodep contains a complex of plant extracts, including concentrated plum juice, ash tree manna, lemon balm, marshmallow, chamomile, fennel and sweet orange, together with prebiotics such as inulin and Actilight® 950 P fructooligosaccharides, which help regulate intestinal transit.

Laxodep is administered orally, one hour before or after meals, depending on the patient's age. The dosage regimen varies according to age as follows:

• Infants (6 months-1 year): 2.5 ml per day
• Children (1-3 years): 5 ml per day
• Children (3-6 years): 7.5 ml per day
• Children (6-12 years): 10 ml per day
• Adults: 10-20 ml per day

For temporary constipation, the minimum recommended dose is 2 weeks, and for chronic constipation, a period of use of at least 2 months is recommended to achieve a re-education of the defecation reflex and stimulation of intestinal peristalsis.

Laxodep is a safe product, but it is not recommended for use in people who are hypersensitive or allergic to any of its ingredients.

The product should also be used with caution in people suffering from serious digestive disorders, such as intestinal obstruction or Crohn's disease.

When taking Laxodep, it is important to take the product regularly and as recommended. Taking it one hour before meals helps maximise the effectiveness of the active ingredients.

It is also recommended to use the product with adequate hydration to support its laxative effect.

Laxodep is a natural product with a high safety profile. However, in rare cases, mild side effects such as abdominal pain or gastrointestinal discomfort may occur. These effects are usually temporary and disappear as the body adjusts to the product.

Laxodep contains plant extracts that are not known to interact with other medicines. However, it is recommended that people undergoing medical treatment consult their doctor before using Laxodep to avoid any possible interactions.

Also, the product should not be used if other chemical laxatives are being taken at the same time without a doctor's advice.

In case of overdose, symptoms may include diarrhoea or abdominal cramps. It is important to stick to the recommended dose, and if you accidentally take a higher dose, it is recommended to consult a doctor.

In general, Laxodep is a product with a low risk of overdose due to its mild nature and natural ingredients.

Laxodep should be stored in a dry, cool place, away from direct sources of heat and light. The product should be stored at room temperature, out of the reach of children.
