When should I consider HERBIN LAXINOL, and when is it better to see a doctor?

HERBIN LAXINOL kapslid N15 is intended for situational use: irregular bowel movements caused by travel, a sudden change of diet, enforced inactivity or a hectic schedule. In such cases, short-term support with plant ingredients is a sensible first step.

However, there are situations in which you should postpone taking it until you have consulted a specialist:

• Prolonged or recurrent constipation — if delayed bowel movements have become regular, this is a signal to find out the cause rather than simply relieving the symptom.
• Unclear cause — abdominal pain, blood in the stool or a sudden change in bowel habits for no obvious reason require medical assessment.
• Sensitive bowel — with irritable bowel syndrome or other functional disorders, stimulant plant ingredients may increase discomfort.
• Chronic conditions, taking medication — in these cases any supplement is best agreed with a doctor in advance. During pregnancy and breastfeeding, the capsules should not be used at all.

The fennel in the formula helps reduce the likelihood of the bloating and heaviness that sometimes accompany stimulant herbal products — but this does not remove the need to listen to your body. If marked discomfort appears after taking it, stop using it, and if you are intolerant to any of the ingredients, do not use the capsules.

The supplement does not replace the basics: enough water, dietary fibre in your diet and physical activity. If you have a chronic tendency to constipation, it is these factors that matter most.
