Warnings
Consult a doctor in case of pregnancy or side effects. Avolac contains a maximum of galactose 11% and a maximum of tagatose 2%. This is to be taken into account in patients requiring a galactose-free diet. Diabetics may also use Avolac taking bread units into account (15 teaspoonful Avolac equal to ¼ bread unit), diarrhoea may occur in case of overdosage. In such a case, Avolac use should be discontinued and care should be taken that the patient has an adequate supply of water and mineral while undergoing therapy with Avolac; foods that cause flatulence and excessive intake of carbonated drinks should be avoided.
In treating dysbacteria (disturbances of intestinal flora), a periodic course of treatment with Avolac (6-8 weeks) is generally recommended. Only after this period of time can the desired change in the intestinal environment be achieved. If Avolac is taken with or after meals, the laxative effect is reduced and the dose must be increased. The stool regulating effect of Avolac may last several days in some patients. Thus, Avolac needs only to be taken every 2nd or 3rd day in such cases. The action of Avolac takes place without the aid of a special diet. Nevertheless, a diet rich in vitamins and fiber enhances the action of Avolac in obstinate constipation and parodontosis.
