Medication name: Laxocodyl Bisacodyl 5 mg Suppositories (Children)
\nDrug class: Stimulant laxative<\/p>\n
Use:
\nThis medication is used to relieve occasional constipation in children.
\nIt helps stimulate bowel movements and soften stools, providing gentle and effective relief when oral laxatives are not suitable.
\nIt may also be used to empty the bowel before medical procedures or examinations under medical supervision.<\/p>\n
How it works:
\nThe active ingredient, bisacodyl, acts directly on the intestinal wall to stimulate the nerves in the colon.
\nThis increases bowel muscle contractions and promotes movement of stool through the intestines.
\nIt also helps retain water in the bowel, softening the stool for easier passage.
\nThe suppository form provides local action and typically works within 15 to 60 minutes.<\/p>\n
Dosage and administration:
\nFor children aged 2 to 10 years, insert one suppository (5 mg) into the rectum once daily, preferably in the morning or as directed by a doctor.
\nFor children under 2 years, use only under medical advice.
\nGently remove the suppository from its wrapper, moisten it with a little water, and insert the pointed end first into the rectum.
\nEncourage the child to hold it for as long as possible to allow the medicine to work effectively.
\nEach suppository is for single use only.<\/p>\n
Side effects:
\nLaxocodyl is generally safe when used as directed.
\nOccasional mild side effects include abdominal cramps or local irritation.
\nOveruse or long-term use may lead to diarrhea, dehydration, or dependence on laxatives.
\nSeek medical attention if severe abdominal pain, persistent diarrhea, or rectal bleeding occurs.<\/p>\n
Precautions:
\nDo not use if the child has intestinal obstruction, appendicitis, dehydration, or abdominal pain of unknown cause.
\nAvoid long-term use without medical supervision, as it may weaken normal bowel function.
\nConsult a doctor before use in children under 2 years or if constipation persists for more than a few days.
\nFor rectal use only \u2014 do not swallow.<\/p>\n
Storage:
\nStore below 25 \u00b0C, in a cool, dry place away from direct heat and sunlight.
\nKeep out of reach of children and do not use after the expiry date printed on the packaging.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
