Aperients / Laxatives

Do not prescribe stimulant aperients, such as COLOXYL AND SENNA, to patients with a new anastomosis. If an aperient is being considered in a patient post laparotomy or bowel surgery, please discuss with the Intensivist and surgical team prior to prescribing (consider lactulose if required).
