Introduction

Constipation is a common digestive issue affecting people of all ages. Modern lifestyles, irregular eating habits, lack of physical activity, and inadequate fiber intake often lead to this uncomfortable condition. Fortunately, effective and fast-acting solutions like LAXATONE PLUS are available to help relieve constipation gently and reliably.

LAXATONE PLUS is a specially formulated oral suspension containing three powerful ingredients: Liquid Parrafin, Milk of Magnesia, and Sodium Picosulfate. Together, these ingredients work synergistically to soften stool, stimulate bowel movement, and ensure smooth intestinal transit. Whether you're facing occasional constipation or struggling with chronic issues, LAXATONE PLUS offers a safe and effective solution to restore digestive regularity.

This article will explore the formulation in detail, discuss its uses, dosage, side effects, and address frequently asked questions. Let’s delve deeper into why LAXATONE PLUS is one of the most recommended constipation medicines.

About This Medication

LAXATONE PLUS is a unique triple-action suspension for constipation relief, formulated with the combination of:

• Liquid Parrafin: A lubricant laxative that coats the intestinal walls and stool to make defecation easier.

• Milk of Magnesia: Also known as magnesium hydroxide, it works as an osmotic laxative by drawing water into the intestines and softening the stool.

• Sodium Picosulfate: A stimulant laxative that activates the colon muscles to initiate bowel movements.

This triple-action formula not only relieves constipation but also prevents the straining and pain often associated with hard stools. LAXATONE PLUS is suitable for adults, children (as per physician's advice), and the elderly, making it a versatile addition to every household's medicine cabinet.

Tablet Uses (Therapeutic Indications)

Though LAXATONE PLUS is a liquid suspension, it is often sought after for the same benefits as tablet-based laxatives. The main uses include:

1. Constipation Relief

The primary indication is for the short-term relief of constipation. It provides effective results usually within 6 to 12 hours after consumption.

2. Bowel Preparation

It may be used under medical supervision to cleanse the bowel before diagnostic procedures like colonoscopy or abdominal X-rays.

3. Post-operative or Bedridden Patients

Patients who are bedridden, recovering from surgery, or have reduced mobility often suffer from constipation. LAXATONE PLUS helps restore bowel function in such cases.

4. Medication-Induced Constipation

Certain medications (especially opioids, antacids, and antidepressants) cause constipation. LAXATONE PLUS helps counteract these effects.
