• if you are taking a diuretic ("water pill").

Do not use Laxadin without telling your doctor if you are pregnant.

Do not use Laxadin without telling your doctor if you are breast-feeding a baby.

Do not give this medication to a child without the advice of a doctor.

When used to treat constipation, Laxadin is only part of a complete program of treatment that may also include diet and exercise. Follow your doctor's instructions very closely.

How should I take Laxadin?

Use this medication exactly as directed on the label, or as prescribed by your doctor. Do not use it in larger amounts or for longer than recommended.

For best results, take Laxadin on an empty stomach, or at bedtime.

Do not crush, chew, or break the enteric-coated tablet. Swallow it whole. The enteric-coated pill has a special coating to protect your stomach. Breaking the pill could damage this coating.

Do not take a Laxadin rectal by mouth. It is for use only in your rectum.

Try to use the rectal form of this medicine at a time when you can lie down afterward and hold the medicine in. Avoid using the bathroom during this time.

If you are using Laxadin before surgery or a medical procedure, follow your doctor's instructions about the timing of your dose (the number of days or hours) before your procedure.

Remove the outer wrapper from the suppository before inserting it. Avoid handling the suppository too long or it will melt in your hands.

Lie on your side and gently insert the suppository pointed end first. For best results, hold in the suppository for a 15 to 20 minutes. The suppository will melt quickly once inserted and you should feel little or no discomfort while holding it in. Avoid using the bathroom just after you have inserted the suppository.

Shake the rectal enema gently just before use. Remove the protective cap from the applicator tip. You may use the enema lying down or seated on a toilet. Gently insert the tip into your rectum and lightly squeeze the bottle to release the enema. Hold the enema in for a few minutes and then release into the toilet.

The rectal forms of Laxadin should produce a bowel movement within 15 minutes to 1 hour.

The tablet form of Laxadin should produce a bowel movement within 6 to 12 hours, or overnight when taken at bedtime.

Call your doctor if you do not have a bowel movement after using this medication. Do not use Laxadin for more than 7 days in a row unless your doctor tells you to.

Store Laxadin at room temperature away from moisture and heat.

Can Laxadin be taken or consumed while pregnant?

Please visit your doctor for a recommendation as such case requires special attention.

Kindly explain your state and condition to your doctor and seek medical advice from an expert.
