Additional information for patient

Bowel sluggishness and constipation are widespread complaints. However, they are only rarely caused by serious illness. They are more frequently caused by aspects of everyday life, such as stress, lack of exercise, using unfamiliar toilets and poor nutrition. Therefore, a good laxative should simply help you, without any stress.
When using REGULAX PIKOSULFAAT oral drops, you have chosen a medicine that regulates bowel activity by increasing the volume of stools and stimulating peristalsis (natural, rhythmic movement of the bowel). In this way, bowel evacuation is regular and gentle.
Try to find a well-balanced lifestyle pattern and reduce your dose of REGULAX PIKOSULFAAT drops at the same time. This will allow your bowel to return to normal, regular function.
The following tips will help retrain your bowel to gain its normal function.
-   Try to make your life less hectic. Use the toilet at the same time each day, preferably at home in a familiar environment.
-   Make time for regular meals and go for a balanced, low-calorie diet with a high fibre content. Eat fruit, salads and muesli.
-   Avoid high-calorie snacks. Drink more mineral water instead.
-   Most professions curb our movement, preventing the body from efficient use of the energy gained from food. However, lack of exercise is one of the main causes of constipation. Try to walk or work out as much as possible.
-   Remember that the medicine does not start to take effect until about 10-12 hours after taking a dose and that for some people, emptying the bowel just 2-3 times a week is quite normal.
