Pharmacy only and GSL:
Adults and children over 10 years:
One to two 5 ml spoonfuls (5 - 10 mg) at night.
Pharmacy only:
Children under 10 years:
Not to be taken by children under 10 years without medical advice.
Children (4 - 10 years):
Half to one 5 ml spoonful (2.5 - 5 mg) at night.
Children under 4 years:
The recommended dosage is 250 micrograms per kilogram body weight.
In the management of constipation, once regularity has restarted dosage should be reduced and can usually be stopped.
Diluent: Can be diluted with purified water.
DULCOLAX is contraindicated in patients with ileus, intestinal obstruction, acute abdominal conditions including appendicitis, acute inflammatory bowel diseases, and severe abdominal pain associated with nausea and vomiting which may be indicative of the aforementioned severe conditions.
DULCOLAX is also contraindicated in severe dehydration and in patients with known hypersensitivity to sodium picosulfate or any other component of the product.
As with all laxatives, DULCOLAX should not be taken on a continuous daily basis for more than five days without investigating the cause of constipation.
Prolonged excessive use may lead to fluid and electrolyte imbalance and hypokalaemia.
DULCOLAX should not be taken by children under 10 years without medical advice.
Dulcolax® Pico Liquid contains 5.9 vol % ethanol (alcohol) i.e. up to 480 mg per dose, equivalent to 12 ml beer, 5 ml wine per dose. Harmful for those suffering from alcoholism.To be taken into account in pregnant or breast-feeding women, children and high-risk groups such as patients with liver disease, or epilepsy.
Dulcolax® Pico Liquid contains the preservatives methyl parahydroxybenzoate, propyl parahydroxybenzoate and the colouring agent sunset yellow FCF (E110) which may cause allergic reactions (possibly delayed).
The concomitant use of diuretics or adreno-corticosteroids may increase the risk of electrolyte imbalance if excessive doses of DULCOLAX are taken.
Electrolyte imbalance may lead to increased sensitivity to cardiac glycosides.
Concurrent administration of antibiotics may reduce the laxative action of this product.
There are no adequate and well-controlled studies in pregnant women. Long experience has shown no evidence of undesirable or damaging effects during pregnancy.
Clinical data show that neither the active moiety of sodium picosulfate (BHPM or bis-(p-hydroxyphenyl)-pyridyl-2-methane) nor its glucuronides are excreted into the milk of healthy lactating females.
Nevertheless, as with all medicines, DULCOLAX should not be taken in pregnancy, especially the first trimester, and during breast feeding unless the expected benefit is thought to outweigh any possible risk and only on medical advice.
None stated.
Adverse events have been ranked under headings of frequency using the following convention:
Very common (
Immune system disorders
Rare: Hypersensitivity including angioneurotic oedema and skin reactions.
Gastrointestinal disorders
Common: Abdominal discomfort, abdominal pain, abdominal cramps and diarrhoea.
Uncommon: Nausea, vomiting.
Symptoms: If high doses are taken diarrhoea, abdominal cramps and a clinically significant loss of potassium and other electrolytes can occur.
Furthermore, cases of colonic mucosal ischaemia have been reported in association with doses of DULCOLAX considerably higher than those recommended for the routine management of constipation.
Laxatives when taken in chronic overdosage may cause chronic diarrhoea, abdominal pain, hypokalaemia, secondary hyperaldosteronism and renal calculi. Renal tubular damage, metabolic alkalosis and muscle weakness secondary to hypokalaemia have also been described in association with chronic laxative abuse.
Therapy: Within a short time of ingestion, absorption can be minimised or prevented by inducing vomiting or by gastric lavage. Replacement of fluids and correction of electrolyte imbalance may be required. This is especially important in the elderly and the young.
Administration of antispasmodics may be of some value.
Sodium picosulfate is a locally acting laxative from the triarylmethane group, which after bacterial cleavage in the colon, has a dual-action with stimulation of the mucosa of both the large intestine and of the rectum. Stimulation of the mucosa of the large intestine results in colonic peristalsis, with promotion of accumulation of water, and consequently electrolytes, in the colonic lumen. This results in stimulation of defaecation, reduction of transit time and softening of the stool. Stimulation of the rectum causes increased motility and a feeling of rectal fullness. The rectal effect may help to restore the “call to stool” although its clinical relevance remains to be established.
After oral ingestion, sodium picosulfate reaches the colon without any appreciable absorption. Therefore, enterohepatic circulation is avoided. The active laxative compound, bis-(p-hydroxyphenyl)-pyridyl-2-methane (BHPM), is formed by bacterial cleavage in the intestine. Consequently, the onset of action of the preparation is usually between 6 - 12 hours, which is determined by the release of the active substance.
After oral administration, only small amounts of the drug are systemically available.
There is no relationship between the laxative effect and plasma levels of the active moiety.
There are no pre-clinical data of relevance to the prescriber which are additional to that already included in other sections of the SPC.

Generic Name: cyclobenzaprine (Oral route)
sye-kloe-BEN-za-preen
In the U.S.
Available Dosage Forms:
Therapeutic Class: Skeletal Muscle Relaxant, Centrally Acting
Cyclobenzaprine is used to help relax certain muscles in your body. It helps relieve the pain, stiffness, and discomfort caused by strains, sprains, or injuries to your muscles. However, this medicine does not take the place of rest, exercise or physical therapy, or other treatment that your doctor may recommend for your medical problem. Cyclobenzaprine acts on the central nervous system (CNS) to produce its muscle relaxant effects. Its actions on the CNS may also cause some of this medicine's side effects.
Cyclobenzaprine may also be used for other conditions as determined by your doctor.
Cyclobenzaprine is available only with your doctor's prescription.
Once a medicine has been approved for marketing for a certain use, experience may show that it is also useful for other medical problems. Although this use is not included in product labeling, cyclobenzaprine is used in certain patients with fibromyalgia syndrome (also called fibrositis or fibrositis syndrome).
In deciding to use a medicine, the risks of taking the medicine must be weighed against the good it will do. This is a decision you and your doctor will make. For this medicine, the following should be considered:
Tell your doctor if you have ever had any unusual or allergic reaction to this medicine or any other medicines. Also tell your health care professional if you have any other types of allergies, such as to foods, dyes, preservatives, or animals. For non-prescription products, read the label or package ingredients carefully.
Studies on this medicine have been done only in adult patients, and there is no specific information comparing use of cyclobenzaprine in children with use in other age groups.
Many medicines have not been studied specifically in older people. Therefore, it may not be known whether they work exactly the same way they do in younger adults or if they cause different side effects or problems in older people. There is no specific information comparing use of cyclobenzaprine tablets in the elderly with use in other age groups.
Because of the possibility of higher blood levels in the elderly as compared to younger adults, use of cyclobenzaprine extended-release capsules is not recommended in the elderly .

Chlorpheniramine is an antihistamine that reduces the natural chemical histamine in the body. Histamine can produce symptoms of sneezing, itching, watery eyes, and runny nose.
Chlorpheniramine is used to treat sneezing, itching, watery eyes, and runny nose caused by allergies or the common cold.
Chlorpheniramine may also be used for purposes not listed in this medication guide.
Ask a doctor or pharmacist before taking chlorpheniramine if you have glaucoma, a stomach ulcer, severe constipation, kidney disease, urination problems, an enlarged prostate, or a thyroid disorder.
Ask a doctor or pharmacist before using any other cold, cough, or allergy medicine. Chlorpheniramine is contained in many combination medicines. Taking certain products together can cause you to get too much of a certain drug. Check the label to see if a medicine contains an antihistamine.
Ask a doctor or pharmacist if it is safe for you to take this medicine if you have:
glaucoma;
a stomach ulcer;
severe constipation;
kidney disease;
urination problems or an enlarged prostate; or
a thyroid disorder.
Use exactly as directed on the label, or as prescribed by your doctor. Do not use in larger or smaller amounts or for longer than recommended. Cold or allergy medicine is usually taken only for a short time until your symptoms clear up.
Measure liquid medicine with a special dose-measuring spoon or cup, not a regular table spoon. If you do not have a dose-measuring device, ask your pharmacist for one.
This medication can cause unusual results with allergy skin tests. Tell any doctor who treats you that you are taking an antihistamine.

Acetaminophen is a pain reliever and a fever reducer. It is used to treat many conditions, such as headache, muscle aches, arthritis, backache, toothaches, colds, and fevers.
Chlorpheniramine and pyrilamine are antihistamines. They work against the naturally occurring chemical histamine in the body. Chlorpheniramine and pyrilamine prevent sneezing; itchy, watery eyes and nose; and other symptoms of allergies and hay fever.
Phenylephrine and phenylpropanolamine are decongestants. They constrict blood vessels (veins and arteries). This reduces the blood flow to certain areas allowing nasal and respiratory (breathing) passages to open up.
Acetaminophen/chlorpheniramine/pyrilamine/phenylephrine/phenylpropanolamine is used to treat nasal congestion; itchy, watery eyes; itchy throat; sneezing; headache; fever; and other symptoms associated with allergies, hay fever, and the common cold.
