Laxative. Treatment of symptoms of constipation. Do not use continuously for a long time.
Please follow these instructions carefully, unless your doctor has instructed you otherwise. If in doubt, please consult your doctor or pharmacist.
Unless the doctor advises otherwise:
– Adults and children over 10 years old: 2 to 4 soft capsules, once a day (maximum dose: 10 mg).
– Children from 4 to 10 years old: 1 to 2 soft capsules, once a day (maximum dose: 5 mg).
Do not exceed the maximum dose.
To be swallowed with a sip of water.
Taken in the evening at bedtime, the soft capsules cause an evacuation of the intestine in the morning.
Care should be taken to gradually space out the intakes (1 intake every 2 days, then every 3 days, etc.) and to reduce the number of soft capsules per intake, so as to avoid habituation.
Laxatives should only be used for constipation if increasing the amount of fiber-rich foods, drinking plenty of drink, and regular physical activity have not given sufficient results.
