Alax tablets typically produce a laxative effect 8–12 hours after ingestion. For this reason, it is recommended to take the medication in the evening so that a bowel movement occurs the next morning. However, it is important to remember that the time it takes for the medication to work may vary slightly depending on individual bowel function and the cause of constipation.

Alax tablets should be used only for the short-term treatment of occasional constipation in adults and adolescents over 12 years of age, in accordance with the following recommendations:

  • 1–2 tablets in the evening, with a glass of water,
  • The lowest effective dose that produces a bowel movement should be used,
  • Do not take more than 2 tablets per day,
  • Do not use this medication for more than 7 days without consulting a doctor.

If constipation persists despite taking the medication or recurs frequently, consult your doctor or pharmacist to determine the cause.

If you do not experience a laxative effect after taking Alax, do not increase the dose beyond the recommended amount on your own. The maximum daily dose is 2 tablets. If constipation persists while taking this medication, contact your doctor or pharmacist, as it may be necessary to determine the cause of the problem and implement a different course of treatment.

Alax is not intended for long-term use. The medication should be used for a short period of time, for a maximum of 7 days, without consulting a doctor. Longer use is possible only upon the express recommendation of a doctor. Conversely, chronic use of stimulant laxatives, which include Alax tablets, can disrupt normal bowel function, lead to dependence on laxatives, and cause disturbances in water and electrolyte balance.

Do not use Alax tablets for weight loss. Alax is a medication intended solely for the short-term treatment of occasional constipation and is not indicated for weight loss. Doing so may lead to loss of water and electrolytes, dehydration, and increase the risk of side effects associated with long-term use of laxatives.
