Pregnancy and breastfeeding

If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, think you may be pregnant, or plan to become pregnant, consult your doctor or pharmacist before using this medication.

Acolora can be taken during pregnancy and breastfeeding.

  • Consult your doctor or pharmacist if you need to take 3 or more sachets per day for an extended period, especially if you have been advised to follow a low-salt diet.

Acolora contains 187.92 mg of sodium (the main component of table salt) per sachet, which is equivalent to 9.4% of the maximum recommended daily sodium intake for an adult.

3. How to take Acolora

Medicine questions

Started taking the medicine and have questions?

Discuss your symptoms and treatment with a doctor online.

Follow the administration instructions for this medication exactly as indicated by your doctor. If in doubt, consult your doctor again.

This medication can be taken at any time without the need for food.

Dissolve the contents of each sachet in 125 ml (1/2 glass) of water and take it.

Adults, adolescents, and the elderly

  • Constipation:

A dose of Acolora corresponds to 1 sachet dissolved in 125 ml (1/2 glass) of water.

Take this amount 1 to 3 times a day, depending on the degree of constipation you have.

  • Fecal impaction:

Before taking Acolora for fecal impaction, your doctor must confirm that you have this condition.

A dose of 8 sachets per day is required for the treatment of fecal impaction. Each sachet should be dissolved in 125 ml (1/2 glass) of water. The 8 sachets should be taken over a period of 6 hours and for 3 days if necessary. If you have heart problems, do not take more than 2 sachets in 1 hour.

How to prepare:

Open the sachet and pour the contents into a glass. Add approximately 125 ml (1/2 glass) of water and stir well until the powder is completely dissolved, resulting in a turbid solution, and then drink it. If you are taking Acolora for fecal impaction, it will be easier to dissolve the 8 sachets in 1 liter of water.

Duration of treatment:

  • Constipation:

Treatment usually lasts for 2 weeks. If you need to take Acolora for a longer period, consult your doctor. If your constipation is caused by a disease such as Parkinson's or multiple sclerosis, or if you are taking medications that can cause constipation, your doctor may recommend that you take Acolora for more than 2 weeks. If you need to take Acolora for a longer period, consult your doctor.

For long-term treatments, the dose can usually be reduced to 1 or 2 sachets per day.

  • Fecal impaction:

Treatment may last up to 3 days.

If you take more Acolora than you should

You may experience excessive diarrhea, which can lead to dehydration. If this occurs, stop treatment with Acolora and drink plenty of fluids. If you are concerned, consult your doctor or pharmacist.

In case of overdose or accidental ingestion, consult your doctor or pharmacist immediately or call the Toxicology Information Service, phone: 91 562 04 20, indicating the medication and the amount ingested.
