Adults and children over 12 years: Take 2-4 tablets daily. Do not exceed 4 tablets daily except on doctor's advice. Doses of more than 4 tablets are best divided and taken morning and night, or as prescribed by your doctor. Drink plenty of water and increase the fibre in your diet. If a bowel action does not occur after three days of repeated treatment or if symptoms persist see your doctor. Prolonged use of laxatives is undesirable and may lead to dependence or serious bowel problems. Use in children under 12 is not recommended.
