Lubrilax is a medication that is indicated for the symptomatic relief of occasional constipation in adults and children over 6 years of age.

If symptoms worsen, if no stool occurs after 12 hours after maximum daily administration, or if symptoms persist after 6 days of treatment, you should consult your doctor.

If you take more Lubrilax than you should
Gastrointestinal spasms, mucous and diarrheal stools, loss of fluid, potassium and other electrolytes may appear.
At much higher doses than recommended, cases of ischemia (decreased blood flow) have been reported in the lining of the colon.
Like all laxatives, continued use of high doses of laxatives can lead to chronic diarrhea, abdominal pain, decreased potassium in the blood, secondary hyperaldosteronism (excessive production of the hormone aldosterone by the adrenal gland), and kidney stones (kidney stones). . Injuries to the renal tubule, metabolic alkalosis (increased amount of bicarbonate in the blood), and muscle weakness due to decreased blood potassium have also been described.
If you have taken more Lubrilax than you should, immediately go to a medical center or call the Toxicology Information Service 91 562 04 20, indicating the medicine and the amount ingested.

If you forget to take Lubrilax
Do not take a double dose to make up for a forgotten dose.

If you have any further questions on the use of this medicine, ask your doctor or pharmacist.
