In this case, take the minimum dose at the beginning of the treatment, which can be gradually increased according to your condition;\u003cbr\u003e- if you suffer from constipation that lasts for long periods (chronic) or is frequent;\u003cbr\u003e- if the need for a laxative results from a sudden change in previous bowel habits (frequency and characteristics of stool elimination) that has lasted for more than two weeks or when the use of the laxative fails to produce effects, or if the disorder has also occurred in the past.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eExcessive use of laxatives can cause persistent diarrhea with consequent loss of water, mineral salts (especially potassium) and other essential nutrients for the body. In the most severe cases, severe dehydration and a decrease in potassium levels in the blood (hypokalemia) can cause heart, nerve and muscle problems (cardiac or neuromuscular dysfunction), especially in case of concomitant use of medicines used for heart rate problems (cardiac glycosides), medicines used to lower blood pressure (diuretics) and cortisone anti-inflammatories.\u003cbr\u003eAbuse of laxatives, especially contact laxatives (stimulant laxatives), can cause dependence and habituation (the need to constantly increase the dosage), chronic constipation and loss of normal bowel function (intestinal atony).\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eHealth education notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Please note that, in most cases, a balanced diet rich in water and fiber (bran, vegetables and fruit) can solve the problem of constipation. Many people think they suffer from constipation if they do not have a bowel movement every day. This is an incorrect belief as this situation is completely normal for a large number of people.\u003cbr\u003eInstead, constipation is considered to be present when bowel movements are reduced compared to personal habits and are associated with the passage of hard stools. If episodes of constipation occur repeatedly, a doctor should be consulted.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eChildren\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn children under 12 years of age, LATTULOSIO ZENTIVA should only be used after consulting a doctor.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePossible side effects\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLike all medicines, this medicine can cause side effects, although not everybody gets them.\u003cbr\u003eAdhering to the instructions contained in the package leaflet reduces the risk of side effects.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eContact your doctor if you experience any of the following side effects:\u003cbr\u003e- excessive emission of gas from the intestine (flatulence) and even severe abdominal pain (colic), more frequent in cases of severe constipation.\u003cbr\u003e- allergic reactions, skin rash, itching, hives (frequency not known: frequency cannot be estimated from the available data).\u003cbr\u003eThese side effects are generally temporary.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReporting of side effects\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIf you get any side effects, including any not listed in this leaflet, talk to your doctor or pharmacist.
