- You are taking medicines for a heart condition (e.g. cardiac glycosides, antiarrhythmic medicines e.g quinidine), medicines inducing QT elongation, diuretics, adrenocortico steroids or liquorice root preparations.
- You have been told you have an intolerance to some sugars because this medicine also contains lactose monohydrate (15.82mg per tablet).
- 'Lazy' bowel, where the muscle in the bowel becomes too relaxed. This means that bowel emptying happens less often.This can lead to long-term constipation.
- Imbalance of fluids and salts in the body. This can affect the tightness of muscles such as those in the bowel. It can also affect the salts in the blood.
- Low levels of potassium in the blood (called hypo-kalaemia). This can make you tired, dizzy, make your muscles weak and cause an uneven heartbeat.
- Dehydration, making you thirsty, feel faint and giving you headaches. It can also mean that you cannot pass enough urine.
