Indications & Clinical Uses

Lecicarbon S Co2-Laxans is used as a rectal laxative to promote bowel evacuation.

  • Constipation: facilitates stool softening and promotes evacuation in patients with functional constipation.
  • Bowel preparation for colonoscopy: aids in cleansing the colon prior to diagnostic procedures.
  • Enema administration: provides buffering action to reduce discomfort during rectal enema use.

How It Works

  • The formulation generates carbon dioxide through the reaction of sodium hydrogen carbonate with sodium dihydrogen phosphate, creating a mild effervescent effect that increases intraluminal pressure and softens stool. The resulting buffering action raises local pH, promoting water retention in the colon and facilitating peristaltic activity to enhance bowel movements.

Side Effects

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

Common Side Effects

  • Abdominal cramping
  • Rectal irritation
  • Flatulence
  • Nausea
  • Mild diarrhea
  • Transient discomfort during administration

Serious or Rare Side Effects

  • Severe abdominal pain
  • Rectal bleeding
  • Allergic reaction (rash, itching, swelling)
  • Electrolyte imbalance
  • Severe dehydration
  • Rare cases of mucosal ulceration

Precautions & Warnings

When using Lecicarbon S Co2-Laxans, consider the following precautions.

  • Assess patient history: verify absence of intestinal obstruction before use.
  • Avoid in patients with inflammatory bowel disease flare-ups: risk of exacerbation.
  • Monitor fluid balance: ensure adequate hydration during treatment.
  • Use with caution in elderly: increased sensitivity to rectal irritation.
  • Pregnancy and lactation: consult healthcare professional before administration.
  • Store below 25°C: keep in original packaging, protect from moisture.

Avoid Interactions

Potential drug interactions should be reviewed prior to administration.

Major Interactions (Avoid)

  • Concurrent use with high‑dose oral sodium bicarbonate: risk of systemic alkalosis.
  • Co‑administration with potassium‑sparing diuretics: potential electrolyte disturbances.
  • Use with rectal irritants (e.g., phenolphthalein): increased mucosal irritation.

Moderate Interactions (Monitor Closely)

  • Combination with anticholinergic agents: may reduce laxative efficacy.
  • Concurrent use with other osmotic laxatives: monitor for excessive fluid loss.
  • Interaction with anticoagulants: monitor for rectal bleeding risk.

Frequently Asked Questions

Lecicarbon S Co2-Laxans is a rectally administered buffer laxative that helps relieve constipation and is used to prepare the bowel before diagnostic procedures such as colonoscopy. It works by generating carbon dioxide to soften stool and stimulate evacuation.

Sodium hydrogen carbonate reacts with sodium dihydrogen phosphate to produce carbon dioxide gas and a mild alkaline environment. The gas creates pressure that softens fecal matter, while the buffering action raises local pH, promoting water retention and facilitating peristalsis for bowel movement.

The appropriate dose of Lecicarbon S Co2-Laxans is determined by the prescribing healthcare professional based on the patient’s condition, age, and response. Dosage instructions are provided on the prescription label and should be followed exactly as directed.

Safety in pregnancy or lactation has not been definitively established. Healthcare providers should evaluate the risk‑benefit profile for each individual. If use is considered necessary, it should be under medical supervision and only when the potential benefits outweigh any possible risks.

To place an order, submit an enquiry on the product page at gnhindia.com specifying the required quantity. GNH India works with 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 osmotic or stimulant laxatives, Lecicarbon S Co2-Laxans uses a buffering and gas‑generating mechanism, which can provide rapid softening of stool with minimal systemic absorption. It is particularly useful for short‑term bowel preparation, whereas other classes may be preferred for chronic constipation management.

Lecicarbon S Co2-Laxans should be stored below 25 °C in its original packaging, protected from moisture and direct sunlight. Maintaining these conditions helps preserve the stability of the buffering agents and ensures consistent performance.

The product is administered rectally, typically as an enema. The prescribed amount is inserted into the rectum using the supplied applicator or a suitable device, allowing the formulation to act locally to generate CO₂ and promote bowel evacuation.

Serious risks, though uncommon, include severe abdominal pain, rectal bleeding, allergic reactions such as rash or swelling, and electrolyte disturbances that may arise from excessive fluid loss. Patients should seek immediate medical attention if any of these symptoms occur.

Individuals with known intestinal obstruction, severe inflammatory bowel disease flare‑ups, hypersensitivity to any component of the formulation, or those advised against rectal interventions by their physician should avoid using Lecicarbon S Co2-Laxans.
