Frequently asked questions

What is Lacrofarm used for?+
Lacrofarm is an oral solution that combines electrolyte salts and macrogol 3350 to help restore fluid and electrolyte balance in mild to moderate dehydration, relieve occasional constipation, and prepare the bowel before diagnostic or surgical procedures.
How does the combination of sodium hydrogen carbonate, potassium chloride, sodium chloride, and macrogol 3350 work?+
The sodium and potassium salts provide essential electrolytes that are absorbed to correct deficits, while macrogol 3350 acts as an osmotic laxative, retaining water in the intestinal lumen to soften stool and promote evacuation, thereby supporting both rehydration and bowel cleansing.
What is the usual dose of Lacrofarm?+
The appropriate dose of Lacrofarm is determined by the prescribing healthcare professional based on the individual’s clinical condition, age, and severity of dehydration or constipation. Patients should follow the prescriber’s instructions and not self‑adjust the amount.
Is Lacrofarm safe to use during pregnancy or breastfeeding?+
Safety data for Lacrofarm in pregnancy and lactation are limited. Healthcare providers should evaluate the potential benefits against any possible risks before prescribing it to pregnant or nursing mothers. Use only under medical supervision.

How does Lacrofarm compare with other oral rehydration or laxative products?+
Lacrofarm uniquely combines electrolyte salts with macrogol 3350, offering both rehydration and osmotic laxative effects in a single formulation. Compared with standard oral rehydration salts, it adds bowel‑cleansing capability, while compared with plain macrogol laxatives, it also supplies essential electrolytes.
What are the storage requirements for Lacrofarm?+
Lacrofarm should be stored at ambient temperature, below 25 °C, in its original container. Keep it away from moisture, direct sunlight, and extreme heat to maintain stability and potency.
How is Lacrofarm administered?+
Lacrofarm is taken orally as a liquid solution. The prescribed volume is measured using a calibrated device and ingested directly or mixed with a small amount of water, following the healthcare professional’s guidance.
What are the most serious risks associated with Lacrofarm?+
Serious risks include severe dehydration, significant electrolyte disturbances such as hypernatremia or hyperkalemia, allergic reactions, and, in rare cases, intestinal obstruction. Patients should seek immediate medical attention if they experience severe symptoms.
Who should not use Lacrofarm?+
Individuals with known hypersensitivity to any of the ingredients, severe renal impairment, uncontrolled electrolyte disorders, or those who are already taking high‑dose potassium supplements should avoid Lacrofarm unless specifically directed by a healthcare professional.
