What is COLO-LAX used for?

COLO.LAX helps you to have a comfortable bowel movement even if you have been constipated for a long time. COLO.LAX also works in very bad constipation (called faecal impaction).

Before you take COLO.LAX:

Do not take COLO.LAX if your doctor has told you that you have: • an obstruction in your intestine (gut).

  • a perforated gut wall.
  • severe inflammatory bowel disease, like ulcerative colitis, Crohn’s disease, or toxic megacolon.
  • ileus.
  • an allergy to Polyethylene glycol.

If you are pregnant or breast feeding, talk to your doctor before you take COLO.LAX. Tell your doctor about other medicines you are taking.

 

The dose of COLO.LAX:

Constipation:

The usual dose of COLO.LAX is 1 sachet. Take this 2 or 3 times a day.

Older people should take only 1 sachet a day at first. Adjust the dose as necessary.

Treatment with COLO LAX usually lasts about 2 weeks. It can be repeated if necessary.

 

Faecal Impaction: The dose is 8 sachets a day taken within 6 hours.

If you have a heart condition do not take more than two sachets in one hour. You may need to take this dose for up to 3 days.

How to take COLO-LAX:

Open the sachet and put the powder into a glass which is half full of water (about 125 ml). Stir well the water is clear again then drink it.

If you are taking COLO.LAX for faecal impaction, it may by easier to dissolve 4 sachets in 5mm ml of water.
