Jul 06, 2022

Introduction

Laxatone Plus Syrup is a combination medication designed to relieve constipation and improve bowel movements. It contains three active ingredients: Sodium Picosulphate, Milk of Magnesia, and Liquid Paraffin. This blend works synergistically to provide gentle yet effective relief from constipation by stimulating bowel movements and softening stools.

What is Laxatone Plus Syrup?

Laxatone Plus Syrup is a liquid formulation that combines three ingredients, each addressing different aspects of constipation:

  • Sodium Picosulphate: A stimulant laxative that works by stimulating the bowel muscles, helping to promote regular bowel movements.
  • Milk of Magnesia: A magnesium-based compound that works as an osmotic laxative, drawing water into the intestines to soften stools and make bowel movements easier.
  • Liquid Paraffin: A mild lubricant that softens the stool, making it easier to pass.

Together, these ingredients provide a multi-action solution for constipation relief, making it easier to relieve discomfort and restore normal bowel function.

Key Features and Ingredients of Laxatone Plus Syrup

  1. Sodium Picosulphate:

    • Stimulant Laxative: Stimulates the muscles in the bowel to promote natural movement, helping to ease constipation.
    • Gentle Action: Unlike some harsher stimulant laxatives, Sodium Picosulphate offers a more gentle effect, reducing the risk of abdominal cramping or discomfort.
  2. Milk of Magnesia:

    • Osmotic Laxative: Works by attracting water into the colon, which softens stools and makes bowel movements easier to pass.
    • Calm and Soothing: Provides a soothing effect to the intestinal lining, helping to prevent discomfort while easing constipation.
  3. Liquid Paraffin:

    • Lubricant Laxative: Coats the stool and bowel lining, making it easier for the stool to move through the intestines without straining.
    • Moisturizes and Softens: Helps to soften hard stools, reducing the discomfort associated with constipation.

Uses of Laxatone Plus Syrup

Laxatone Plus Syrup is primarily used to treat constipation, which can occur due to a variety of reasons, such as a poor diet, dehydration, medication side effects, or lack of physical activity. It helps to:

  1. Relieve Constipation:
    It provides effective relief from constipation by stimulating the bowel muscles, softening the stool, and lubricating the intestines.

  2. Ease Bowel Movements:
    The syrup helps make bowel movements more comfortable and less strenuous by softening the stool and lubricating the digestive tract.

  3. Prevent Straining During Bowel Movements:
    By softening the stool and promoting easier bowel movements, Laxatone Plus Syrup helps reduce the need for straining, which can be particularly beneficial for people with hemorrhoids or after surgery.

How Does Laxatone Plus Syrup Work?

Each of the active ingredients in Laxatone Plus Syrup contributes to relieving constipation in different ways:

  • Sodium Picosulphate stimulates the muscles of the colon to enhance peristalsis (the wave-like muscle contractions that move stool through the intestines).
  • Milk of Magnesia draws water into the intestines, which softens the stool and helps it pass more easily.
  • Liquid Paraffin lubricates the stool and the bowel, reducing friction and making the stool easier to pass.

Together, they work synergistically to promote regular bowel movements and provide fast, effective relief from constipation.

    The stimulant action of Sodium Picosulphate and the osmotic effect of Milk of Magnesia ensure that relief is rapid, with most users experiencing the desired effect within a few hours of taking the syrup.

  4. Lubrication:
    The Liquid Paraffin provides lubrication, reducing the discomfort that can occur with hard, dry stools, and easing the process of passing stool.

Side Effects of Laxatone Plus Syrup

While Laxatone Plus Syrup is generally well-tolerated, some individuals may experience mild side effects. These may include:

    As a stimulant laxative, Sodium Picosulphate can sometimes cause mild cramping or discomfort in the abdomen, especially when used in higher doses.

  2. Diarrhea:
    Milk of Magnesia and Sodium Picosulphate can sometimes cause diarrhea if taken in excess. It’s essential to follow the recommended dosage to avoid this.

  3. Nausea or Vomiting:
    Some people may experience nausea or mild stomach upset while using the syrup.

  4. Dehydration:
    Overuse of laxatives can lead to dehydration due to fluid loss from the intestines. It's important to stay hydrated and avoid using the syrup too frequently.
