Chronic constipation: Dosage is individualised and depends somewhat on the severity of the constipation.

Adults. The usual initial dose is 15 to 30ml daily. The dose may be increased to 45ml daily if necessary. After three days, the dose may be reduced to 10 to 25ml daily for maintenance. More serious constipation and/or constipation such as that caused by chemotherapy agents may require higher dosages.
