200ml Laxon-Plus Suspension

Laxon Plus is a combination medication used as a laxative to relieve constipation. It contains a blend of three active ingredients that work together to promote bowel movements. Here’s an overview of Laxon Plus, specifically focusing on its components and their functions:

Ingredients and Their Functions

1. Liquid Paraffin:

   • Type: Lubricant laxative.
   • Function: Coats the stool and the lining of the intestines, making it easier for the stool to pass through the bowel. It helps to soften the stool and reduces the risk of straining during bowel movements.

2. Milk of Magnesia (Magnesium Hydroxide):

   • Type: Osmotic laxative.
   • Function: Draws water into the intestines, increasing the water content of the stool and stimulating bowel movements. It helps to soften the stool and increase its bulk, which promotes regular bowel movements.

3. Sodium Picosulfate:

   • Type: Stimulant laxative.
   • Function: Stimulates the bowel muscles to contract, which helps to move the stool through the intestines. It acts on the colon to increase peristalsis (intestinal movement), which helps to relieve constipation.

Uses

Laxon Plus is typically used for:

• Relief of Constipation: Helps to relieve occasional constipation and promote regular bowel movements.
• Preparation for Medical Procedures: May be used before certain medical procedures to ensure the bowel is empty.
