Hi my little girl age 7 is on 4 Laxido and 15ml of sodium picosulphate. After a disimpaction. First 3 days we stayed close to home as she was very runny. She's ok now on this dose...consultant says she should now go 2/3 times a day. Still waiting for soiling to decrease. Maybe wait till you are on a maintenance dose?
