The name of this medicine is Bimotil powder for oral solution. It is a laxative for the treatment of constipation in adults, adolescents, and the elderly. It is not recommended for children under 12 years of age.

Bimotil helps with proper intestinal movement even when constipation is long-lasting. Bimotil is also effective in the treatment of severe constipation, also called fecal impaction.

Doctor consultation

Discuss your symptoms and treatment with a doctor online.

2. What you need to know before taking Bimotil

Do not take Bimotil if your doctor has diagnosed you with:

  • allergies to the active ingredients or any of the other components of this medicine (listed in section 6).
  • intestinal obstruction (obstruction of the intestine, paralytic ileus),
  • perforation of the intestinal wall,
  • a severe inflammatory bowel disease such as, for example, ulcerative colitis, Crohn's disease, or toxic megacolon,

Warnings and precautions

When taking Bimotil, you should continue to drink plenty of fluids. The liquid content of Bimotil does not replace your usual fluid intake.

Cardiac conditions

Follow the special instructions in section 3 if you are taking Bimotil for fecal impaction.

Other medicines and Bimotil

Tell your doctor or pharmacist if you are taking, have recently taken, or may need to take any other medicine. It is recommended to wait at least 2 hours between taking Bimotil and other medicines.

Some medicines, such as antiepileptics, may not be as effective when administered with this medicine.

If you need to thicken liquids to swallow them safely, Bimotil may neutralize the effect of the thickener.

Pregnancy and breastfeeding

This medicine can be taken during 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 medicine.

Driving and using machines

Bimotil does not affect the ability to drive or use machines.

Bimotil contains sodium, potassium, and aspartame

This medicine contains 186.87 mg of sodium (main component of table salt/kitchen salt) per sachet. This is equivalent to 9.3% of the maximum daily sodium intake recommended for an adult.

Consult your doctor or pharmacist if you need to take four or more sachets daily for a prolonged period, especially if you have been advised to follow a low-salt diet (sodium).

This medicine contains 5.0 mmol of potassium per sachet, which should be taken into account in patients with renal insufficiency or in patients with low-potassium diets.

This medicine contains 25 mg of aspartame per sachet. Aspartame is a source of phenylalanine that may be harmful in cases of phenylketonuria (PKU), a rare genetic disorder in which phenylalanine accumulates because the body is unable to eliminate it properly.

3. How to take Bimotil

This medicine can be taken at any time with or without food.

Dissolve the contents of each sachet in 125 ml of water and take it.

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

Constipation

The dose of Bimotil is 1 sachet dissolved in 125 ml (half a glass) of water. Take 1 sachet 1-3 times a day, depending on the severity of constipation.

Fecal impaction

Before taking Bimotil for fecal impaction, it must be confirmed that you actually have this disease.

For the treatment of fecal impaction, it is necessary to take 8 sachets per day. Each sachet should be dissolved in 125 ml (half a glass) of water. The 8 sachets should be taken over 6 hours for 3 days, if necessary. If you have a cardiac condition, do not take more than 2 sachets per hour.

Preparation method

Open the sachet and pour the contents into a glass. Add approximately 125 ml of water to the glass (half a glass). Shake well until the powder is dissolved and the Bimotil solution is clear or slightly cloudy, then drink the solution. If you are taking this medicine for fecal impaction, it may be easier to dissolve the 8 sachets in 1 liter of water.

Duration of treatment

Constipation

Treatment with Bimotil usually lasts about 2 weeks. If you need to take this medicine for a longer period, please consult your doctor. If constipation is caused by a disease such as Parkinson's or multiple sclerosis, or you are taking other medicines that cause constipation, your doctor may advise you to take this medicine for more than 2 weeks. If you need to take this medicine for more than 2 weeks, please consult your doctor.

Normally, during long-term treatment, the dose can be reduced to 1 or 2 sachets per day.
