Introduction to LAXATONE PLUS SYRUP 170 ML

LAXATONE PLUS SYRUP 170 ML is a combination laxative solution designed to relieve constipation and promote regular bowel movements. It contains a blend of Sodium Picosulphate, Milk of Magnesia (Magnesium Hydroxide), and Liquid Paraffin, all of which work together to ease constipation by stimulating bowel movements, softening stool, and lubricating the intestines. This formulation is ideal for individuals experiencing chronic or occasional constipation, providing gentle and effective relief.

Composition of LAXATONE PLUS SYRUP 170 ML

Each 170 ml bottle of LAXATONE PLUS SYRUP contains the following active ingredients:

• Sodium Picosulphate: 5mg per 5ml

• Milk of Magnesia (Magnesium Hydroxide): 30mg per 5ml

• Liquid Paraffin: 15mg per 5ml

How LAXATONE PLUS SYRUP Works

The combination of these active ingredients helps to relieve constipation in different ways:

1. Sodium Picosulphate:

   • Sodium Picosulphate is a stimulant laxative that works by stimulating the muscles in the walls of the intestines, promoting bowel contractions and helping move stool through the digestive tract. It is a gentle yet effective stimulant that works within 6 to 12 hours of administration.

2. Milk of Magnesia (Magnesium Hydroxide):

   • Milk of Magnesia acts as an osmotic laxative, drawing water into the intestines to soften stool and ease its passage. It helps relieve constipation by increasing the water content in the stool, making it easier to pass.

3. Liquid Paraffin:

   • Liquid Paraffin acts as a lubricant laxative, coating the stool and the walls of the intestines to reduce friction. This lubrication makes it easier for stool to pass through the colon and rectum without straining.

Key Features of LAXATONE PLUS SYRUP

   • The combination of Sodium Picosulphate, Milk of Magnesia, and Liquid Paraffin provides a comprehensive approach to relieving constipation by stimulating bowel movements, softening stool, and lubricating the intestines.

2. Gentle Action:
