Keep out of the reach of children under 3 years of age.
Do not exceed the recommended daily dose.
Do not dispose of in the environment after use.
In rare cases spasmodic gastrointestinal complaints may occur. In these cases the dose must be reduced. In case of chronic use or abuse, loss of electrolytes, particularly potassium, albuminuria and haematuria may occur, as well as pigmentation of the intestinal mucosa, which is however harmless and regresses once intake is stopped. Potassium loss can lead to changes in heart function and to myasthenia, particularly if cardioactive glycosides, diuretics and corticosteroids are taken at the same time.
Interactions with other medicines None found. In case of chronic use/abuse, the resulting potassium loss may intensify the effect of cardiac glycosides and antiarrhythmics. Potassium depletion may be aggravated in combination with thiazide diuretics, corticosteroids and liquorice (dry extract, root).
Contraindications Ileus, acute inflammatory bowel conditions (Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis, appendicitis), abdominal pain of unknown origin. Pregnancy, breastfeeding and children under 12 years of age.
