Molaxole 30 Sachet Pack

Macrogol 3350 13.125g Powder.
What MOLAXOLE is used for
MOLAXOLE helps you to have a comfortable bowel movement even if you have been constipated for a long time.
MOLAXOLE also works in very bad constipation (called faecal impaction), as determined by your doctor.
Macrogol 3350 increases the volume of faeces by binding water leading to a normalisation of motility in the colon. The physiological consequences are an increased movement of the softened stools and easing of defaecation. The salts in the formulation help maintain the body's normal salt and water balance.
This medicine is available without a doctor’s prescription. However, you still need to take MOLAXOLE carefully to get the best results from it.
Before you take MOLAXOLE

When you must not take it
Do not take MOLAXOLE if you have an allergy to any of the ingredients listed at the end of this leaflet.

Do not take MOLAXOLE if your doctor has told you that you have:
An obstruction in your intestine (gut)
A perforated gut wall
Severe inflammatory bowel disease like ulcerative colitis, Crohn's disease or toxic megacolon
Paralysis of the bowel
Do not take MOLAXOLE after the expiry date printed on the pack. If you use this medicine after the expiry date has passed, it may not work as well.
Do not take MOLAXOLE if the packaging is torn or shows signs of tampering.

How to take MOLAXOLE

How much to take
Dosage in adults and children over 12 years of age:
Constipation
The recommended dose of MOLAXOLE is 1 sachet a day. This may be increased up to 3 sachets daily if necessary.
Faecal impaction as diagnosed by a doctor
The dose is 8 sachets a day taken within 6 hours. You may need to take this dose for up to 3 days.
Patients with impaired cardiovascular function:
If you have a heart condition, do not take more than 2 sachets in any one hour.
Patients with renal insufficiency:
No dosage change is necessary for treatment of either constipation or faecal impaction.
Do not exceed the recommended dose.
If you are not sure of the correct dose or how to use this medicine, ask your pharmacist or doctor.
How to take it
Mix the contents of 1 sachet with a 1/2 glass of water (about 125 mL). Stir well until all the powder has dissolved and drink it. If you like, you can add fruit juice or fruit syrup immediately before drinking.
If you are taking MOLAXOLE for the treatment of faecal impaction, you can mix 8 sachets in 1 litre of water. The solution can then be stored in the fridge.
Drink plenty of water and increase fibre in diet except in cases of medication-induced constipation.
How long to take it
Continue taking your medicine for as long as your doctor tells you.
If you forget to take it
If you miss a dose, take MOLAXOLE when the next dose is due. Do not take a double dose to make up for the dose that you missed.
If you are not sure what to do, ask your doctor or pharmacist.
If you have trouble remembering to take your medicine, ask your pharmacist for some hints.
If you take too much (overdose)
If you take too much MOLAXOLE and get bad diarrhoea, stop taking MOLAXOLE until it clears. If constipation recurs, you should check with your doctor or pharmacist. If you are worried, contact your doctor or pharmacist.
While you are taking MOLAXOLE
Things you must do
If you are about to be started on any new medicine, remind your doctor and pharmacist that you are taking MOLAXOLE.
Tell any other doctors, dentists, and pharmacists who treat you that you are using this medicine.
If you become pregnant while you are using this medicine, tell your doctor. Your doctor can discuss with you the risks of using it while you are pregnant.
