Description

What is Laxido? 

Laxido Orange is a laxative and is used to treat constipation that has been present for a long time as well as faecal impaction. The main ingredient, macrogol, works by absorbing water into the stool and increasing the volume and water content of stools. This helps relieve constipation as the stools pass through the bowel more easily.

How to take Laxido Orange? 

You should only take this medicine on advice from a doctor. This medicine is available as a powder in a sachet that is dissolved in water before taking by mouth. Both sugar-free and sugar-containing preparations of this medicine may be available. The dose will vary depending on why it is being used. Laxido sachets are not suitable for children under 12 years.

If you are taking this medicine to treat constipation, do not take it for more than two weeks. If you are treating faecal impaction, do not take it for more than three days. Consult your doctor if your symptoms do not improve after two weeks or if they get worse during treatment with this medicine.   

Directions

Always take Laxido Orange exactly as your doctor or pharmacist has told you. You should check with your doctor or pharmacist if you are not sure. Laxido Orange should be taken orally.

Adults, children (aged 12 years and above) and the elderly:

The usual dose for constipation is one sachet taken one to three times daily. This course of treatment for constipation does not normally last longer than 2 weeks.

The usual dose for faecal impaction is eight sachets daily. All eight sachets must be taken within a six hour period. This course of treatment for faecal impaction does not normally last longer than 3 days. If you have a heart condition, do not take more than two sachets (in 250ml of water) in any one hour.

Laxido Orange should be made up by dissolving the contents of one sachet in a glass of water (125ml or a quarter pint). If you are being treated for faecal impaction, you can dissolve the contents of all eight sachets together in a large container (in one litre of water).

Your treatment may last for longer than two weeks if you have ongoing constipation, or a disease that causes constipation (such as Parkinson’s disease or multiple sclerosis), or if you are taking other regular medicines that can cause constipation. In these cases, your doctor may reduce your dose to one sachet taken one or two times daily.

If you take more Laxido Orange than you should

You may experience severe pains and swelling in your abdomen, or vomiting or diarrhoea. If this happens, contact your doctor or pharmacist.

If you forget to take Laxido Orange

If you forget to take a dose, take it as soon as you remember and then continue on as before. Do not take a double dose to make up for a forgotten dose.

If you stop taking Laxido Orange

To get the most benefit from Laxido Orange, always finish the course of treatment recommended by your doctor or pharmacist. This will make sure that your constipation is cleared, otherwise the symptoms you are suffering from may persist.

You must contact a doctor if your symptoms worsen or do not improve after 14 days for chronic constipation, or after 3 days for faecal impaction.

For me this is an excellent product and, like another customer, I have to take opioids daily as unable to take anti-inflammatories. My story is very similar to his and I find one sachet a day does the trick as suggested by a consultant I saw back in September. I also gave Weldricks a 5 star Trustpilot review as it was a speedy delivery from placing the order and in my humble opinion DPD are the best courier. Also, Weldricks have gained a customer as the initial supplier I was using kept putting me through the third degree when I ordered this items!

I take opioids daily and have tried everything for the constipation and nothing did the job. Either it didn't work and I was severely constipated or it worked too good and I would have painful cramps and the runs. Plus many of these were stimulant laxatives meaning you shouldn't take them long-term unless you have no choice. But this amazing medication allows me to go and do my business without issue. No pain, not too soft or too hard, just a normal bowel movement. I took two sachets a day at the beginning to get my body into a rhythm and now I only need to take one sachet a day. As it's an osmotic laxative it's safe to take it daily indefinitely. I don't know what I'd do without this amazing stuff.

Great product, I take at least one daily with plenty of water. Have suffered from haemorrhoids since 2019, and recently had surgery. Taking at least one a day enables me to manage this condition, and hopefully prevent recurrence after surgery. Recommended by surgeon. Regular blood tests show no electrolyte imbalance from taking daily for five years. Main snag is it causes flatulence!
