Indications & Clinical Uses

Lecicarbon E Co2-Laxans Drei, an osmotic laxative, is used to manage constipation by increasing colonic water content.

  • Constipation: facilitates softer stool and easier passage in adults.
  • Occasional constipation: provides rapid relief for intermittent bowel irregularities.
  • Functional constipation: improves bowel frequency in patients with chronic functional bowel disorders.

How It Works

  • The sodium hydrogen carbonate and sodium dihydrogen phosphate in the enema create an osmotic gradient that draws water into the lumen of the colon. This increased intraluminal fluid softens fecal mass and stimulates peristalsis, promoting evacuation without systemic absorption of the active salts.

Side Effects

Adverse reactions are generally mild and related to the rectal route.

Common Side Effects

  • Abdominal cramping or discomfort.
  • Flatulence or bloating.
  • Mild rectal irritation or burning sensation.
  • Nausea.

Serious or Rare Side Effects

  • Severe abdominal pain.
  • Electrolyte imbalance (e.g., hypernatremia).
  • Allergic reaction such as rash or swelling.
  • Dehydration with excessive use.
  • Rectal bleeding (rare).

Precautions & Warnings

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

  • Assess hydration status: ensure the patient is not severely dehydrated.
  • Avoid in intestinal obstruction: contraindicated if blockage is suspected.
  • Do not exceed recommended frequency: follow prescriber guidance on repeat dosing.
  • Monitor for persistent symptoms: seek medical advice if constipation persists beyond 48 hours.
  • Store at room temperature: keep in the original container, protect from moisture and direct sunlight.

Avoid Interactions

Lecicarbon E Co2-Laxans Drei may interact with other agents that affect fluid or electrolyte balance.

Major Interactions (Avoid)

  • Concurrent use with high‑dose oral electrolyte solutions may cause severe electrolyte disturbances.
  • Combination with other osmotic laxatives can increase risk of dehydration and electrolyte loss.

Moderate Interactions (Monitor Closely)

  • Use with antacids may increase sodium load.
  • Co‑administration with diuretics may affect overall fluid balance.
  • Some antibiotics may have altered absorption when given immediately after the enema.

Frequently Asked Questions

Lecicarbon E Co2-Laxans Drei is an osmotic laxative formulated as a rectal enema solution. It is used to relieve constipation by drawing water into the colon, softening stool and facilitating bowel movements in adults.

The sodium hydrogen carbonate and sodium dihydrogen phosphate create an osmotic gradient when introduced into the rectum. This gradient pulls water from surrounding tissues into the colon, increasing luminal fluid, softening feces, and stimulating peristalsis to promote evacuation.

The appropriate dose and frequency are determined by the prescribing healthcare professional based on the patient’s condition, age, and response. Patients should follow the prescriber’s instructions and the product label.

Safety data for use in pregnancy or lactation are limited. Healthcare providers should evaluate the risk‑benefit profile for each individual. If use is considered necessary, it should be under medical supervision.

To place an order, submit an enquiry on the product page at gnhindia.com, specifying the required quantity. GNH India supplies hospitals, pharmacies and procurement teams worldwide, verifies trade or institutional credentials, and then provides pricing, availability, shipping details and any required import documentation.

Compared with stimulant laxatives, Lecicarbon E works osmotically, drawing water into the colon rather than stimulating intestinal muscle directly. This often results in a gentler onset of action and a lower risk of cramping, though it may be slower than stimulant agents for acute relief.

Store the enema solution at room temperature, below 25 °C, in its original container. Protect it from moisture, direct sunlight, and extreme temperatures to maintain stability and efficacy.

The product is administered rectally. The prescribed volume is inserted into the rectum using the supplied applicator or a suitable enema device, allowing the solution to contact the colonic mucosa. The patient should retain the enema for the time recommended by the prescriber.

Serious risks include severe abdominal pain, electrolyte imbalance (especially hypernatremia), dehydration with excessive use, and rare allergic reactions. Patients should seek immediate medical attention if they experience intense pain, swelling, rash, or signs of electrolyte disturbance.

The enema should be avoided in individuals with known hypersensitivity to the ingredients, intestinal obstruction, severe dehydration, or active rectal bleeding. It is also contraindicated in patients for whom osmotic laxatives are medically inadvisable, as determined by a healthcare professional.
