There are times when you can not do without a laxative. Constipation may be the effect of drug treatment, or a laxative must be taken before a cavitary operation.

If you think that your goal is justified, then consider how to take lavacol for weight loss.
How does Lavakol work?
Like any laxative, Lavakol detains fluid in the digestive tract and pushes out all the stool from the intestine. Also, the preparation contains electrolytes that normalize the water-electrolyte balance. Some people take Lavakol for cleansing the bowels before they go on a diet.
How to take Lavakol?
The method of application of lavacol is similar to other powder laxatives. Lavakol is sold in bags, each of which must be diluted with 200ml of water. Such a solution per day you need to drink up to three liters (first of all, this applies to those who take the drug before the operation). Drink every 20-30 minutes throughout the day. The taste of the Lavacola is brackish, resembling mineral water, and this is a big plus, since most laxatives have an intolerable taste. Nevertheless, before taking the Lavakol, you should be aware of the presence of contraindications and adverse reactions.
Contraindications:
- heart and kidney failure;

In case of negligence, you may experience side reactions in the form of nausea, abdominal pain, vomiting, intestinal microflora disorder, addiction to the drug, which occurs even after a single dose.
Do not wait for miracles
Lavakol or any other laxative does not affect the absorption of fats at all. This process occurs in the stomach, the laxative has nothing to do with it. You take out the stool and lose weight just as much as the stool out of you. The laxative does not normalize your stool, it will put you on a "needle", without a laxative it will be very difficult for you to go to the toilet very simply. Before rushing to extremes, try to eat more fiber and drink more liquid. Fiber acts as a laxative, it pushes the feces through the intestines. However, she does it naturally, gently, without causing any damage to your body.
