Nisa Sachets are typically used for the treatment of gastrointestinal conditions, particularly for managing constipation and promoting bowel regularity. They contain macrogol, a type of osmotic laxative that helps retain water in the stool, making it easier to pass.
Key Uses
Nisa Sachets are indicated for:
- Constipation Relief: Helps soften stools and increase bowel movements.
- Bowel Preparation: Often used before medical procedures or surgeries to clear the bowel.
Active Ingredients
- Macrogol: This is the primary active ingredient in Nisa Sachets. It works by drawing water into the bowel, which helps to soften the stool and stimulate bowel movements.
Dosage Instructions
- Adults: The typical dosage may vary, but it often starts with 1 to 2 sachets dissolved in water daily, adjusted based on individual needs.
- Children: Dosage for children should be determined by a healthcare provider. For example:
- Ages 5 to 11 years: May start with 4 sachets on the first day, then increase as needed.
- Ages 1 to 4 years: Generally starts with a lower dose, such as half to one sachet daily.
Administration
- Mix the contents of the sachet with water (usually about 125 mL) and stir until fully dissolved. Drink the mixture immediately.
Side Effects
Common side effects may include:
- Abdominal discomfort
- Bloating
- Nausea
- Diarrhea (if taken in excess)
Serious side effects are rare but can include:
- Severe allergic reactions (e.g., rash, itching)
- Symptoms of dehydration if diarrhea occurs.
Precautions
- Contraindications: Avoid use in individuals with known hypersensitivity to macrogol or those with certain gastrointestinal obstructions.
- Pregnancy and Breastfeeding: Consult a healthcare provider before use if pregnant or breastfeeding.
- Drug Interactions: Inform your healthcare provider about all medications being taken to avoid potential interactions.
