Cylax Tablets

Adult dose

For those 15 years and older: 1 to 2 tablets per dose, taken 3 times a day after meals. The interval between doses should be at least 4 hours. For the first dose, start with the minimum amount and gradually increase or decrease based on the shape and condition of the stool.

This medication should not be taken by patients with acute abdominal conditions or intestinal obstruction. This medication contains lactose, so patients with a hereditary condition that prevents them from digesting lactose should not take it. While taking this medication, avoid taking antacids or milk at the same time, and maintain at least a 1-hour interval. Patients with severe abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting symptoms, pregnant women or those who may become pregnant, individuals taking other medications, those on a sodium-restricted diet, and individuals with a history of rectal bleeding or bowel failure should consult a doctor or pharmacist before use. If symptoms such as skin rash, redness, itching, severe abdominal pain, diarrhea, or vomiting occur during use, discontinue use immediately and consult a healthcare professional. If abdominal discomfort or cramps occur, or if constipation does not improve after taking the medication for more than one week, discontinue use and consult a doctor. It is essential to follow the prescribed dosage and frequency, and children under 10 years of age should avoid taking it unless in special circumstances. Do not chew the tablets; swallow them whole, and avoid taking continuously for more than one week to prevent developing a tolerance to the medication, which could worsen constipation. If daily use of a laxative is necessary, it is important to identify the underlying cause of constipation accurately. When storing, keep it out of reach of children, avoid direct sunlight, and store in a cool, dry, and sealed place to maintain the quality of the medication.
