In more serious cases, you may experience dehydration and low levels of potassium in the blood (hypokalaemia), with possible problems with your heart, nerves and muscles, especially if you are taking medicines to stimulate the heart (cardiac glycosides), to increase urine production (diuretics) or medicines called corticosteroids at the same time. \u003cbr\u003eDrink fluids to prevent dehydration, especially if you are in conditions that may facilitate fluid loss, or if you are taking medicines that act on the kidneys, such as diuretics, angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors (ACE inhibitors), angiotensin receptor blockers (sartans) or nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs).\u003cbr\u003e Since Sodium Phosphate Zeta contains sodium phosphates, there may be an increase in the amount of sodium and phosphate in the blood (hypernatremia, hyperphosphatemia) and a decrease in the amount of calcium and potassium in the blood (hypocalcemia and hypokalemia), which can lead to involuntary muscle contraction (tetany) and kidney problems (renal failure). \u003cbr\u003eIf you use this medicine excessively or incorrectly, you may develop dependence (with the consequent need to progressively increase the dose), long-lasting (chronic) constipation and loss of normal bowel function (intestinal atony). Repeated use may give you addiction or cause harm.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Prolonged use of laxatives is not recommended in case of constipation. In case of constipation, first of all correct your eating habits, taking an adequate amount of fiber and water (6-8 glasses a day) and doing physical activity. If you suffer from constipation for more than 2 weeks, if you notice changes in your usual evacuation times or in the characteristics of your stool or if you do not show improvements after using this medicine, contact your doctor. \u003cbr\u003eUse this medicine with caution and after consulting your doctor if you are elderly or not in good health or if you suffer from cardiovascular problems (uncontrolled blood pressure, heart disease), ascites or disorders of the rectal mucosa (ulcers, fissures).\u003cbr\u003e If you encounter resistance when using the medicine, stop using it immediately because forced administration may cause injury.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eHealth education notes\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e First of all, keep in mind that, in most cases, a balanced diet rich in water and fiber (bran, vegetables and fruit) can permanently solve the problem of constipation.\u003cbr\u003e Many people think they are constipated if they are unable to have a bowel movement every day. \u003cbr\u003eThis is a misconception because this situation is completely normal for a large number of individuals. Consider, instead, that constipation occurs when evacuations are reduced compared to one's personal habits and are associated with the emission of hard stools.\u003cbr\u003e If constipation episodes occur repeatedly, consult your doctor.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eChildren\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e This medicine should not be used in children under 12 years of age.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eElderly people\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e If you are elderly, talk to your doctor before using this medicine.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003ePossible side effects\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Like all medicines, this medicine can cause side effects, although not everybody gets them.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The following side effects may occur:\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eNot known\u003c\/b\u003e (the frequency of which cannot be estimated from the available data)\u003cbr\u003e - allergic reactions (e.g. hives)\u003cbr\u003e - blisters, itching, burning of the skin\u003cbr\u003e - abdominal pain, such as cramps and colic;\u003cbr\u003e - diarrhea with loss of salts and water; \u003cbr\u003e- irritation of the lower part of the intestine (rectal irritation);\u003cbr\u003e - nausea, vomiting;\u003cbr\u003e - increased levels of phosphate in the blood (hyperphosphatemia);\u003cbr\u003e - decreased potassium levels in the blood (hypokalemia);\u003cbr\u003e - increased sodium levels in the blood (hypernatremia);\u003cbr\u003e - decreased calcium levels in the blood (hypocalcemia);\u003cbr\u003e - accumulation of calcium in various internal parts of the body (calcification).\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Following the instructions in the package leaflet reduces the risk of side effects.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eReporting of side effects\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e If you get any side effects, talk to your doctor or pharmacist.
