LAXANS AL Tablets

LAXANS AL Tablets are a laxative used for the short-term treatment of constipation and for diseases that require easier bowel movement.The active ingredient bisacodyl promotes intestinal emptying by inhibiting the absorption of water from the intestine and increasing the release of water and electrolytes.This causes the stool to become softer and increase in volume, which stimulates bowel movement. LAXANS AL is suitable for adults and children aged 2 and over.No prescription is required for this product.

Each enteric coated tablet contains 5 mg bisacodyl as active ingredient.In addition, LAXANS AL contains the following excipients: cellacefat, microcrystalline cellulose, dextrin, glucose syrup, glycerol (mono/di/tri)alkanoate (C14-C18), potato starch, lactose-1-water, magnesium stearate, corn starch, montan glycol wax, native castor oil, sucrose, colloidal silicon dioxide, talc and titanium dioxide.Note: The product contains glucose, lactose and sucrose.

Area of application

Constipation can be caused by various factors such as a low fiber diet, too little fluid intake, too little exercise and repeated suppression of the urge to defecate. LAXANS AL helps to get the intestines going again and make bowel movements easier.The active ingredient bisacodyl is proven and also supports diseases that require easier bowel emptying.The tablets should best be taken in the evening on an empty stomach.For children with chronic constipation, LAXANS AL is only suitable as directed by a doctor.

Application recommendation

LAXANS AL Tablets are best taken in the evening or morning on an empty stomach, without chewing, with plenty of liquid.The recommended dose is 1 - 2 tablets (5 - 10 mg) for adults and children over 10 years of age to achieve immediate onset of action.For children aged 2 - 10 years, the recommended dose is 1 tablet (5 mg each). LAXANS AL should not be used in children under 2 years of age.Taking it in the evening leads to bowel emptying after approx. 10 hours, taking it in the morning on an empty stomach after approx. 6 hours.

Suitable foods

Our eating habits play a crucial role in functioning digestion.Foods containing a lot of sugar, white bread or chocolate can cause constipation.Foods rich in fiber such as prunes, figs or sauerkraut, on the other hand, have a naturally stimulating effect.Lactic acid products such as kefir and buttermilk also support a healthy intestinal environment.A change in diet is the most important step for long-term gut health, but often takes some time to take full effect.

Reduce stress

Hectic pace and stress in everyday life can slow down the natural movement of the intestines and cause constipation. LAXANS AL can make bowel movements easier by stimulating the movement of the colon.In order to relieve the intestines in the long term, it is advisable to create solid islands of rest for the body.A relaxed breakfast without time pressure and regular rituals for going to the toilet give the digestive system the security it needs.In addition, relaxation techniques such as yoga or autogenic training can help reduce stress levels and keep the natural intestinal function in balance.

More fiber for better digestion

A diet rich in fiber is essential for regular digestion.Vegetable fibers, such as those found in abundance in wheat bran, linseed or psyllium, act as a natural swelling substance in the intestine.By binding water, the stool volume increases, which creates gentle pressure on the intestinal wall.This stretching stimulus is the decisive signal to the body to activate intestinal movement and trigger the natural urge to defecate.Adequate fluid intake is essential, as fiber cannot swell without water and, in the worst case, can even worsen constipation.Anyone who suffers from constipation despite a diet rich in fiber will find good support in LAXANS AL.
