FAQs

Cadilose Enema works by drawing water into the bowel and makes the stool softer and easier to pass, thereby providing relief from constipation.

Cadilose Enema is used to treat hepatic encephalopathy in adults. Hepatic encephalopathy is a liver disease in which the liver does not remove the toxins from the body, which leads to loss of brain function.

Diarrhoea might occur if Cadilose Enema is taken in larger doses. Drink lots of fluids if you experience diarrhoea. If you find blood in stools (tarry stools) or if you experience severe diarrhoea, consult your doctor. Do not take anti-diarrheal medicine on your own.

Do not use Cadilose Enema for longer durations unless prescribed by the doctor. Using Cadilose Enema for longer durations might cause dehydration, an imbalance of electrolytes in the body which can affect the tightness of muscles in the intestine. If your bowel movement is irregular even after using Cadilose Enema for a week, consult your doctor.

Cadilose Enema contains lactulose, a synthetic sugar. In normal doses, it might not affect your blood glucose levels. However, consult your doctor before using Cadilose Enema if you are diabetic.

About Cadilose Enema

Cadilose Enema belongs to the group of medicines called laxatives used to treat constipation. Cadilose Enema is also used to treat hepatic encephalopathy. Constipation refers to infrequent bowel movements in which the stools are often dry, painful and hard to pass. Hepatic encephalopathy is a liver disease which causes the accumulation of toxic substances in the bloodstream which are normally removed by the liver.

Cadilose Enema contains 'lactulose' which works by absorbing water from the body and into the bowel. This softens stools and makes it easier to pass. Besides this, it also reduces the amount of ammonia in the blood of patients with liver disease by drawing ammonia from the blood into the colon, thereby facilitating the removal of toxins from the body.

You are advised to use Cadilose Enema for as long as your doctor has prescribed it for you, depending on your medical condition. In some cases, you may experience certain common side-effects such as diarrhoea, flatulence (wind), abdominal pain, nausea, and vomiting. Most of these side-effects do not require medical attention and will resolve gradually over time. However, you are advised to talk to your doctor if you experience these side-effects persistently.

Drink plenty of fluids (at least 6-8 glasses) while using Cadilose Enema . Consult your doctor before using Cadilose Enema if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. Cadilose Enema should be given to children only if prescribed by a child specialist. Do not take Cadilose Enema if you have galactosaemia (galactose indigestion disorder). Inform your doctor if you have diabetes, or if you are due to undergo a colonoscopy. Chronic use of unadjusted doses or misuse of Cadilose Enema may cause diarrhoea and electrolyte imbalance, therefore take it only as advised by the doctor.
