Liquid Paraffin, Milk of Magnesia and Sodium Picosulphate Suspension is a prescription medicine formulated to provide effective relief from constipation by combining three well-established ingredients that work together to soften stools, increase bowel movement, and support comfortable bowel evacuation.

Constipation is a common digestive condition that may occur due to poor dietary habits, low water intake, lack of physical activity, certain medications, pregnancy, post-operative recovery, or chronic medical conditions. Persistent constipation can cause discomfort, bloating, abdominal pain, and difficulty passing stools. LAXAFLOW PLUS SUSPENSION is prescribed by healthcare professionals to help relieve constipation while promoting smoother bowel movements with minimal straining.

Its triple-action formulation combines the stool-softening effect of Liquid Paraffin, the osmotic action of Milk of Magnesia, and the stimulant laxative effect of Sodium Picosulphate, making it a comprehensive option for patients requiring effective bowel management under medical supervision.

What is Liquid Paraffin, Milk of Magnesia and Sodium Picosulphate Suspension?

Liquid Paraffin, Milk of Magnesia and Sodium Picosulphate Suspension is a combination prescription medicine used to treat constipation and facilitate easier bowel movements.

Each ingredient performs a specific function:

• Liquid Paraffin lubricates the intestines and softens stools, making them easier to pass.

• Milk of Magnesia (Magnesium Hydroxide) draws water into the intestines, increasing stool moisture and promoting bowel movement.

• Sodium Picosulphate stimulates the muscles of the large intestine, encouraging natural bowel evacuation.

Together, these ingredients provide comprehensive relief from constipation while reducing discomfort associated with hard stools.
