Do not take Elphalac 5mg Syrup for more than a week as it might lead to dependency on Elphalac 5mg Syrup for a bowel movement. Taking Elphalac 5mg Syrup for longer durations might also cause dehydration, imbalance of fluids and salts in the body, affecting the tightness of muscles in the intestine. If your bowel movement is irregular even after taking Elphalac 5mg Syrup for a week, consult your doctor.
Elphalac 5mg Syrup does not help with weight loss. It does not reduce the absorption of calories or nutrients. Elphalac 5mg Syrup may cause dehydration which feels like weight loss. Drink enough liquids to prevent dehydration.
Consult your doctor before taking Elphalac 5mg Syrup with other medicines as Elphalac 5mg Syrup may increase the rate of gastrointestinal transit, and this may affect the absorption of other orally administered medicines given simultaneously.
Overuse or prolonged use of Elphalac 5mg Syrup may cause dehydration. Severe dehydration may cause weakness, tremors, fainting, and blurry vision. Consult your doctor immediately if you experience these symptoms. Drink enough fluids to avoid dehydration.
Diarrhea might occur if Elphalac 5mg Syrup is taken in larger doses. Drink lots of fluids and eat food rich in fiber if you experience diarrhea. If you find blood in stools (tarry stools) or experience excess diarrhea consult your doctor. Do not take anti-diarrheal medicine on your own.
Constipation happens when the normal actions of muscle in the large intestine get slowed down, which means the waste part (stools) did not get easily eliminated from the body.
