1. What is ULGIX LAXI and what is it used for

Sodium docusate is a surface-active agent. It acts as an emulsifier and reduces the surface tension at the interface of the intestinal mucosa and fecal mass. This facilitates the penetration of water and fats into the fecal mass in the large intestine, changing the consistency of the stool and making it easier to defecate. Sodium docusate does not stimulate intestinal peristalsis.

Indications

  • prevention of constipation and treatment of chronic constipation,
  • supportive treatment in patients with hemorrhoids and (or) anal fissures, as well as in patients for whom increased strain during defecation is not recommended due to their health condition,
  • preparation for diagnostic and surgical procedures.

If after 7-10 days there is no improvement or you feel worse, contact your doctor.

2. Important information before using ULGIX LAXI

When not to use ULGIX LAXI

  • if you are allergic to the active substance or any of the other ingredients of this medicine (listed in section 6),
  • in case of nausea and vomiting,
  • in case of appendicitis,

1/4

  • in case of intestinal obstruction and conditions threatening intestinal obstruction (accumulation of fecal mass, intestinal inflammation, intestinal narrowing, adhesions, hernias, polyps, tumors),
  • in case of acute abdominal pain of unknown cause,
  • in case of gastrointestinal bleeding of unknown cause,
  • in case of dehydration.

Warnings and precautions

Before starting to use ULGIX LAXI, discuss it with your doctor, pharmacist, or nurse.
Long-term use of the medicine (more than 7 to 10 days) may lead to dependence on sodium docusate and lack of response to treatment.
In case of observed disorders of large intestine motility (manifested as changes in bowel habits, e.g., frequency of stool and its consistency), which persist for more than 2 weeks, laxatives should be used with caution and medical advice should be sought. This is especially important to avoid missing a bowel tumor, which may manifest as changes in bowel habits.
The occurrence of rectal bleeding or weakening of natural bowel movements (manifested as difficulty or inability to defecate) after using laxatives may indicate a serious disease. In such a case, the use of the medicine should be discontinued.

ULGIX LAXI and other medicines

Tell your doctor or pharmacist about all medicines you are taking, have recently taken, or plan to take.
The medicine should not be used with:

  • mineral oil (liquid paraffin), as their concurrent use may cause increased deposition of mineral oil in lymph nodes, intestinal mucosa, liver, and spleen; this may lead to chronic inflammation of these organs and additional liver cell infiltration,
  • dantron, as the medicine increases dantron absorption, leading to increased toxicity, which may cause liver damage,
  • droperidol, due to the risk of cardiotoxicity (heart muscle damage),
  • levomethadone, as their concurrent use may lead to serious heart rhythm disorders,
  • digitalis glycosides, due to the possibility of increased cardiotoxic effects, by reducing potassium levels in the blood serum,
  • corticosteroids, as sodium docusate enhances their potassium-lowering effect; this interaction may occur only with long-term use of both medicines,
  • acetylsalicylic acid, as their concurrent use may increase the adverse effects of acetylsalicylic acid on the gastrointestinal mucosa,
  • tetracyclines, as sodium docusate reduces the bioavailability of antibiotics from this group,
  • diuretics, as long-term concurrent use may cause increased potassium loss or weakened potassium-sparing effect of diuretics with such a mechanism of action.

Pregnancy and breastfeeding

If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, think you may be pregnant, or plan to have a child, ask your doctor or pharmacist for advice before using this medicine.
The medicine may be used during pregnancy only if, in the doctor's opinion, the benefit to the mother outweighs the potential risk to the fetus.
Sodium docusate passes into breast milk, and therefore, it is not recommended to use the medicine during breastfeeding.

Driving and using machines

No studies have been conducted on the effect of the medicine on the ability to drive and use machines.
