Introduction

What is LAXATONE PLUS?

LAXATONE PLUS is a laxative syrup formulated to help relieve constipation and facilitate smoother bowel movements. It contains a combination of three active ingredients: Sodium Picosulphate, Milk of Magnesia (Magnesium Hydroxide), and Liquid Paraffin. Each of these ingredients plays a crucial role in ensuring effective and gentle relief from constipation, a condition where bowel movements become infrequent or difficult.

This combination of ingredients in LAXATONE PLUS helps in softening stool, promoting bowel movement, and improving the overall function of the digestive system. It is commonly used to treat short-term constipation, which may be caused by factors such as dietary changes, lack of fiber, medication, or stress.

Composition of LAXATONE PLUS

• Active Ingredients:

  • Sodium Picosulphate: Sodium Picosulphate is a stimulant laxative that works by stimulating the muscles in the walls of the intestines, promoting bowel movements and easing the passage of stool. It is often used for acute constipation.

  • Milk of Magnesia (Magnesium Hydroxide): This is an osmotic laxative, meaning it draws water into the intestines, which softens the stool and promotes regular bowel movements. It also helps to reduce the discomfort associated with constipation by making stool passage easier.

  • Liquid Paraffin: Liquid paraffin acts as a lubricant laxative, coating the stool and the intestinal walls, thus easing the passage of stool and reducing irritation in the rectum.

• Excipients:

  • These are the inactive ingredients in the syrup that ensure stability, proper mixing, and the palatability of the product.

Key Features of LAXATONE PLUS

1. Multi-Action Laxative:

   • The combination of Sodium Picosulphate, Milk of Magnesia, and Liquid Paraffin provides a multi-action approach to relieve constipation, ensuring both stimulant, osmotic, and lubricating effects for thorough relief.

2. Gentle and Effective:

   • LAXATONE PLUS is designed to be gentle on the stomach while effectively treating constipation. The combination of active ingredients works together to stimulate bowel movements, soften stools, and lubricate the intestines.

3. Suitable for Short-Term Use:

   • LAXATONE PLUS is typically used for short-term relief from constipation, making it a great option when dietary changes or other lifestyle factors contribute to temporary constipation.

4. Safe for Most Adults:

   • When taken as recommended, LAXATONE PLUS is generally safe for use in adults and can be effective for managing occasional constipation. It is important to consult a healthcare provider if constipation persists for more than a few days.

5. Available in Syrup Form:

   • The syrup formulation makes it easy to take and is especially useful for individuals who may have difficulty swallowing tablets or capsules.

How LAXATONE PLUS Works

LAXATONE PLUS works by utilizing the unique properties of each of its ingredients to address different aspects of constipation:

1. Sodium Picosulphate:

   • This stimulant laxative works by stimulating the muscles in the walls of the intestines, which promotes the movement of stool through the digestive tract. It helps to reduce the time the stool spends in the intestines, preventing the absorption of excess water and softening the stool.

2. Milk of Magnesia (Magnesium Hydroxide):

   • As an osmotic laxative, Milk of Magnesia attracts water into the intestines, softening the stool and promoting easier bowel movements. This increases the water content of the stool, making it easier to pass.

3. Liquid Paraffin:

   • Liquid Paraffin acts as a lubricant, coating the stool and the intestines. This helps the stool slide more easily through the bowel, reducing irritation and discomfort, and making the entire process of bowel movement smoother.

Usage of LAXATONE PLUS

LAXATONE PLUS is primarily used for the relief of constipation. It is a gentle yet effective solution to promote regular bowel movements and ease the passage of stool.

Indications:

• Acute constipation (temporary constipation due to dietary or lifestyle factors)

• Post-surgery or post-delivery constipation (when bowel movements are difficult or painful)

• Constipation caused by certain medications (e.g., painkillers, iron supplements)

• Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) or other conditions that cause sluggish bowel movements

Dosage:

• The dosage may vary depending on age and the severity of the constipation. However, the standard adult dosage of LAXATONE PLUS is:

  • Adults: 10-15 mL of syrup before bedtime, or as directed by a healthcare provider.

  • Children (above 6 years): 5-10 mL as prescribed by a healthcare provider.

The dosage should not exceed the recommended amount, as overuse of laxatives can lead to electrolyte imbalances and dehydration.

Instructions for Use:

• Shake the bottle well before use to ensure that the active ingredients are evenly mixed.

• Take LAXATONE PLUS with a full glass of water to help prevent dehydration.

• It is generally recommended to take the syrup before bedtime, allowing it to work overnight.
