Manevac Granules

Manevac Granules are within the group of medicines known as stimulant laxatives. They are used to treat constipation and they work by encouraging the bowel to contract and move waste products along the bowel.

Constipation can be caused by a number of factors, including poor diet, not drinking enough water and not going to the toilet as soon as you feel you need to. Constipation may also be caused by pregnancy, a lack of exercise or movement (through being ill) and some medicines including pain killers. 

Directions for the use of Manevac Granules:

• Always read the manufacturer\'s information leaflet, if possible, before beginning treatment.
• Take exactly as directed by your doctor.
• Stimulant laxatives should not be given to children unless a doctor has prescribed them.
• Adults should take their dose just before bedtime.
• Children should be given their dose in the mornings.
• Should only be used for a short time. This is because the bowel can start to rely on this type of laxative to make it work rather than working on it\'s own.
• This medicine is for you. Never give it to others, even if their condition appears to be the same as yours.
• Never take more than your doctor has told you. If you suspect that you or someone else has taken an overdose, contact your doctor or go to the accident and emergency department of your local hospital at once. Always take the container with you if possible, even if it is empty.

Caution before taking Manevac Granules:

Read product packaging and instructions before use.

• You are pregnant, trying for a baby or breastfeeding.
• You have any pain in the lower abdomen, if you feel bloated or have stomach cramps.
• You are feeling or being sick.
• You have ever had an allergic reaction to this or any other medicine.
• You are taking any other medicines, including those available to buy without prescription.
