Intake

How do you use Padma Lax?
Unless otherwise prescribed by the doctor, adults take 1 or 2 tablets with ample liquid (1 large glass) before retiring or about 1 hour before breakfast. Children above the age of 12 years take 1 tablet as described above. The medicine takes effect after about 8 hours. Adhere to the dosage indicated in the package leaflet or prescribed by your doctor. If you think that the effect of the medicine is too weak or too strong, talk to your doctor, your pharmacist or your druggist.

What are the possible side effects of Padma Lax?
The following side effects can appear after taking Padma Lax: In rare cases slight diarrhoea or abdominal cramps can occur during the treatment. In this case the dose must be reduced or the treatment discontinued. It is also important to drink ample fluids. A red discolouration of the urine may appear during the treatment. This is, however, harmless and will disappear when you stop taking the medicine. If you notice any side effects which are not described
here, you should inform your doctor, your pharmacist or your druggist.

What other precautions should you take?
Like other medicines, Padma Lax must be kept out of the reach of children. It must also be protected against light and kept in the original package, at room temperature (15-25°C). The medicine may only be used up to the date indicated with “EXP” on the package. Further information may be obtained from your doctor, your pharmacist or your druggist who have access to the detailed Product Information for Medical Professionals.
