Description
OsmoLax is clinically proven to provide effective relief of constipation. It works to restore the natural bowel rhythm by using orally taken fluids to hydrate and soften the stool so it's easier to pass.
OsmoLax generally produces a bowel movement in 1 to 3 days. OsmoLax is flavourless, sugar free and salt free, and contains no artificial flavours, colours or sweeteners. With no salty taste, it can be mixed with any hot or cold drink. For adults and children over 4 years.
Directions
Adults and Children over the age of 12 years: One level 17g measuring scoop mixed with 1 cup (approximately 240mL) of liquid once daily. This can be increased to a maximum of 2 doses of 17g daily, dependent on the severity of your constipation. For chronic constipation, the dose may be reduced to one 8.5g scoop mixed with ½ cup (approximately 120mL) of liquid daily, according to individual response.
Children aged 6 to 12 years: The usual starting dose is two level 8.5g measuring scoops (or one 17g scoop), mixed with 1 cup (approximately 240mL) of liquid once daily. The dose should be adjusted up or down as required to produce regular soft stools. The maximum dose should not exceed three 8.5g scoops (equivalent to 25.5g) daily.
Children aged 4 to 5 years: The usual starting dose is one level 8.5g measuring scoop, mixed with ½ cup (approximately 120mL) of liquid once daily. This can be increased to a maximum of two 8.5g scoops (equivalent to 17g) daily if required. OsmoLax is not recommended for children under 4 years of age.
Directions: Add OsmoLax powder (see dosage above) to any beverage (hot or cold), such as water, juice, soft drinks, coffee or tea. Stir until dissolved and then drink. If desired, the solution may be stored covered in the fridge. Discard any solution that is not used within 6 hours. Drink plenty of water. Increase fibre in the diet during treatment, except in cases of medication induced constipation (e.g. codeine).
