Constipation. Treatment of chronic constipation in children and adults

The first thing that is paid special attention to is the individual values of the doses of Lactusan. Usually the optimal doses are in the range of 20 to 100 ml of syrup per day. These doses provide 2-3 times the excretion of feces per day. Exceeding this indicator over 4 times a day is attributed to the appearance of diarrhea, which is easily eliminated by lowering the dose of Lactusan.

The initial value in the selection of the dose is usually 1-2 tablespoons of Lactusan syrup for the first dose. Further, the dose is doubled, but only for the time of achieving the desired effect. When diarrhea is reached, the intake is reduced by 1 spoon. It is desirable to drink at least 3 weeks. In chronic constipation - treatment lasts until the result of daily emptying without Lactusan is achieved.

When using Lactusan 1 time per day on an empty stomach of the entire dose (3-6 tablespoons) - the maximum laxative effect is achieved.
