3. How to take Normonlax

Follow the exact instructions for administration of this medication as indicated by your doctor or pharmacist. If in doubt, consult your doctor or pharmacist again.

Taking this medication

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.

Constipation:

A dose of Normonlax corresponds to one 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 Normonlax for fecal impaction, your doctor must confirm that you have this condition.

A dose of 8 sachets per day is necessary 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 six hours and for 3 days if necessary. If you have heart problems, do not take more than 2 sachets in one hour.

Preparing Normonlax

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

Duration of Treatment

Constipation:

Treatment usually lasts about 2 weeks. If you need to take Normonlax 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 Normonlax for more than 2 weeks. If you need to take Normonlax 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 Normonlax than you should

You may experience excessive diarrhea, which can lead to dehydration. If this happens, stop treatment with Normonlax 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.

If you forget to take Normonlax

Take your dose as soon as you remember. Do not take a double dose to make up for forgotten doses.
