Prunisor Lax

Infant Uno Prunișor Lax is available as an oral syrup in a 100 ml bottle. This pharmaceutical form is easy to administer and allows for precise dosing adapted to the child's age, promoting compliance among parents and caregivers.

Infant Uno Prunișor Lax is recommended for regulating intestinal transit in infants and children with occasional or chronic constipation, slow intestinal transit, difficulty defecating or associated abdominal discomfort.

Through its prebiotic fibre and lactulose content, the product contributes to stool hydration, promotes regular elimination and maintains the balance of the intestinal microbiota.

It is particularly recommended during periods of dietary diversification, during antibiotic treatment or in contexts that predispose to intestinal transit imbalances.

The dosage of Prunișor Lax is adapted to the age of the child and is administered once a day, preferably in the morning:

• Infants between 6 months and 1 year: 2.5 ml/day;
• Children between 1 and 3 years: 5 ml/day;
• Children between 3 and 6 years: 7.5 ml/day;
• Children over 6 years: 10 ml/day.

It can be administered directly or diluted in a small amount of water or natural juice, depending on the child's preference. A dosing syringe or a graduated cap is recommended for accuracy.

Prunișor Lax is contraindicated in known cases of:

• Lactose or fructose intolerance, due to the presence of lactulose (a milk derivative)
• Allergy to milk proteins
• Hypersensitivity to any of the product's ingredients
• Intestinal obstruction or severe abdominal pain of unknown aetiology

Prunișor Lax should be used with caution in children with chronic gastrointestinal disorders or in the context of inflammatory bowel disease.

It is also important for parents to monitor stool consistency and frequency of bowel movements, avoiding excessive administration.

Prunișor Lax is generally well tolerated due to its natural ingredients and the mild osmotic profile of lactulose. However, mild and transient adverse effects may occur, such as:

• Bloating or flatulence, especially at the beginning of treatment;
• Abdominal discomfort;
• Loose stools or diarrhoea in case of overdose.

These reactions are usually self-limiting and disappear with dose adjustment.

No clinically significant interactions between Prunișor Lax and other medicines have been reported.

However, to avoid minor absorption interactions, it is recommended to take it at least two hours apart from oral medications (e.g. antibiotics, iron supplements).

Fluid intake is important during administration to support the osmotic effect of lactulose and optimal fibre absorption.

Accidental overdose with Prunișor Lax may cause watery diarrhoea, abdominal cramps or electrolyte imbalances, especially in infants. In such cases, it is recommended to stop administration, ensure adequate oral hydration and seek medical advice, especially if symptoms persist.

The product should be stored at temperatures between 15–25°C, away from direct light and excessive moisture. Observe the expiry date stated on the packaging. Keep out of the reach and sight of small children.
