Lavakol took as prescribed by the doctor before the colonoscopy. To be honest, when the doctor appointed, I thought that it was prohibitively expensive, but it turned out that no. I took 1 glass for 4 hours, as a result, drank all 15 bags. I liked that his taste is normal, not so nasty as with many foreign drugs, which also cost odgo. Completely me he arranged.

Want warn manufacturers and / or distributors of the drug Lavakol to be more careful with the paid responses. I'm not only a Handbook moderator and see your attempts. For the first time a warning, but if the situation repeats, it will be blacklisted and the moderation for the drug will be significantly tightened.

I did a colonoscopy twice, prescribed forlax, but according to reviews the drug Lavakol was described better and I decided to try it. It is easy to drink, I washed down each glass with cranberry mors, drank 12 packets, everything was cleaned gently, without rezi, pain. Pleasantly surprised at the price. Now I recommend to all who need to do a survey.

Lavakol was prescribed by the doctor for constipation, I think he coped well with this problem, I drank it several times, but at great intervals, now I have no problems with digestion for half a year. Plus the price is acceptable, it's easy to drink, in general I was satisfied.

She drank ten packets out of fifteen, there was no more strength, and nausea appeared. After this number of sachets the process went and everything went well, the intestines cleared. The next day after stopping the drug, there were feelings of bubbling and heaviness in the abdomen, it did not take several days. Probably, I'll drink something from dysbiosis. The drug itself is probably good, but I will not take it anymore, I did not fit.

The surgeon appointed Lavakol before the colonoscopy. I have an ulcer of the duodenum, the truth began to cicatrize. I read that this is a contraindication to admission. Surprised very much. Now I do not know what to do.Examination of the day after tomorrow, it can not be postponed, simply canceled or appointed in six months. Maybe all the same it's worth taking a chance?

Ludmila Viktorovna, Started or cicatrized? These are two big differences. If the ulcer has already healed, then use Lavakol is acceptable, if not - it all depends on the disease, which is expected to be found on the colonoscopy. If everything is serious sometimes take a risk, that is, they choose priorities, but this is only by order and under the supervision of the doctor.

Here nothing is written about the reception of the lavacola in gv. I have a colonoscopy in three days, the little one flatly refuses to eat from the bottle, I do not even know what to do. Undoing is undesirable. Help please, what can I take?

Tatyana, Clinical data use of Lavakola during breastfeeding a little, use statistics has not yet been accumulated. I can assume that the side effects and negative effects on the health of the baby should not be,that macrogol 4000 (active substance Lavakola) is not absorbed into the blood and therefore it has minimal systemic effect.
