Indications & Clinical Uses

Lecicarbon E Co2-Laxans Drei is employed as an osmotic laxative for conditions affecting bowel evacuation.

  • Constipation: facilitates stool softening and promotes regular bowel movements.
  • Bowel preparation: clears the colon before colonoscopy, sigmoidoscopy or radiologic imaging.
  • Fecal impaction: assists in breaking down hardened stool to enable safe removal.
  • Post‑operative care: supports intestinal motility after abdominal surgery.

How It Works

  • The combination of sodium hydrogen carbonate and sodium dihydrogen phosphate reacts in the rectal cavity to generate carbon dioxide gas and increase osmotic pressure. This draws water into the colon, softens the fecal mass, and stimulates peristaltic activity, resulting in accelerated evacuation of bowel contents.

Side Effects

Lecicarbon E Co2-Laxans Drei may cause a range of adverse reactions, most of which are mild and transient.

Common Side Effects

  • Abdominal cramping or discomfort.
  • Flatulence or bloating.
  • Rectal irritation or mild burning.
  • Nausea.
  • Diarrhea.
  • Temporary electrolyte imbalance.

Serious or Rare Side Effects

  • Severe dehydration.
  • Marked electrolyte disturbances (e.g., hypernatremia).
  • Rectal bleeding or ulceration.
  • Allergic reaction (rash, itching, swelling).
  • Severe abdominal pain.
  • Persistent inability to pass stool.

Precautions & Warnings

Before using Lecicarbon E Co2-Laxans Drei, consider the following safety measures.

  • Assess renal function: impaired kidneys may alter electrolyte handling.
  • Review electrolyte status: patients with existing imbalances need monitoring.
  • Avoid in active gastrointestinal bleeding: risk of exacerbating bleeding.
  • Use cautiously in inflammatory bowel disease: may increase irritation.
  • Pregnant or breastfeeding women: consult a healthcare professional before use.
  • Store at ambient temperature: keep below 25 °C, protect from moisture and direct sunlight.

Avoid Interactions

Lecicarbon E Co2-Laxans Drei can interact with other medicines that influence fluid or electrolyte balance.

Major Interactions (Avoid)

  • Lithium: increased serum lithium levels may occur.
  • Potassium‑sparing diuretics: risk of hyperkalemia.
  • ACE inhibitors or ARBs: potential for enhanced electrolyte disturbances.

Moderate Interactions (Monitor Closely)

  • Oral antacids containing aluminum or magnesium: may reduce laxative efficacy.
  • Other osmotic laxatives: cumulative effect on fluid loss.
  • Antibiotics affecting gut flora: monitor for altered absorption.

Frequently Asked Questions

Lecicarbon E Co2-Laxans Drei is a rectally administered osmotic laxative used to soften stool, relieve constipation, and prepare the bowel for diagnostic procedures such as colonoscopy or for postoperative care. It works by drawing water into the colon to facilitate evacuation.

Sodium hydrogen carbonate reacts with sodium dihydrogen phosphate in the rectal cavity to produce carbon dioxide gas and increase osmotic pressure. The resulting influx of water into the colon softens feces and stimulates peristalsis, promoting bowel movements.

The appropriate dose of Lecicarbon E Co2-Laxans Drei is determined by the prescribing healthcare professional based on the patient’s condition, age, and clinical response. Patients should follow the prescriber’s instructions and not self‑adjust the amount.

Safety in pregnancy and lactation has not been fully established. Women who are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding should discuss potential risks and benefits with their healthcare provider before using this product.

To order, submit an enquiry on the product page at gnhindia.com specifying the required quantity.

Compared with stimulant laxatives, Lecicarbon E Co2-Laxans Drei uses an osmotic mechanism, which generally results in gentler, water‑based stool softening and fewer cramping episodes. It is often preferred for bowel preparation because it produces a rapid, thorough cleansing effect without harsh stimulation.

Store the product at ambient temperature, preferably below 25 °C. Keep it in the original packaging, protect it from moisture and direct sunlight, and ensure the container is tightly closed to maintain product integrity.

The product is administered rectally, typically as an enema. The prescribed volume is inserted into the rectum using the supplied applicator, and the patient is advised to retain the solution for the time specified by the prescriber to achieve the desired effect.

Serious risks include severe dehydration, marked electrolyte disturbances such as hypernatremia, rectal bleeding, and rare allergic reactions. Patients should seek immediate medical attention if they experience persistent diarrhea, severe abdominal pain, or signs of an allergic response.

Individuals with active gastrointestinal bleeding, known hypersensitivity to any component, severe renal impairment, or uncontrolled electrolyte imbalances should avoid using this product unless directed otherwise by a qualified healthcare professional.
