Celevac 500mg Tablets (Methylcellulose)

Celevac Tablets are used for relieving constipation. When you are constipated, the faeces become abnormally dry and hard and are painful and difficult to expell. Methylcellulose absorbs water so it helps to soften the faeces, and as it swells up in the intestines it increases the volume of the intestinal contents. This stimulates the muscular movement of the gut, which helps to move the stools through the intestines. The full laxative effect of Celevac Tablets may take a few days to develop. The dual action of Celevac Tablets stops diarrhoea fast and relieves diarrhoeal pain. If symptoms persist for more than 48 hours consult your doctor. If before first use you find the blister strip is damaged, do not use.

If you have been prescribed Celevac tablets, take them exactly as your doctor has told you to. If not, follow the recommendations given below. You should check with your doctor or pharmacist if you are unsure. These tablets should be broken in the mouth before swallowing with liquid. It is important that you drink the right amount of liquid for your condition. Celevac tablets swell in contact with water and should be swallowed carefully. Do not take these tablets before going to bed. The usual dose depends upon the condition you have, and you can increase or decrease the dose within the limits given below, until you are happy that your condition is under control. For simple constipation: take 3 to 6 tablets, two times a day with at least 300 ml (half a pint) of liquid. You may be able to reduce the dose as your bowels begin to work properly again. For the control of colostomy, ileostomy and simple diarrhoea: take 3 to 6 tablets, two times a day with as little liquid as possible. Do not drink for 30 minutes before and after taking the tablets. For the control of diverticular disease and ulcerative colitis: the usual dose is 3 to 6 tablets, twice a day, depending on the amount of constipation (drink 300 ml or half a pint of liquid), diarrhoea (with a little drink) or pain. For appetite control and the treatment of obesity: take 3 tablets with at least 300 ml (half a pint) of warm liquid 30 minutes before each meal and between meals when the feeling of hunger is severe.

We would advise that you see a doctor regarding your constipation if this continues long-term or you require use of laxatives on a regular basis, as there may be an underlying cause that needs to be investigated.
