FAQs

Laxit Plus Syrup is a combination of three drugs: Sodium picosulphate (stimulant laxative), Milk of magnesia (osmotic laxative), and liquid paraffin (lubricant). Sodium picosulphate works by preventing water absorption in the colonic lumen and stimulating the colon's propulsive activity, thereby promoting water accumulation. Milk of magnesia works by increasing the osmotic gradient in the gut by drawing the water into the intestine, thereby helps in bowel evacuation. Liquid paraffin works by lubricating the bowels and softens the stools. Together, Laxit Plus Syrup helps in providing relief from constipation.

Do not take Laxit Plus Syrup for more than a week as it might lead to dependency on Laxit Plus Syrup for a bowel movement. Taking Laxit Plus Syrup for longer durations might also cause dehydration, imbalance of fluids and salts in the body, affecting the intestine's tightness. If your bowel movement is irregular even after taking Laxit Plus Syrup for a week, consult your doctor.

Laxit Plus Syrup does not help with weight loss. It does not reduce the absorption of calories or nutrients. Laxit Plus Syrup may cause dehydration which feels like weight loss. Drink enough liquids to prevent dehydration.

Consult your doctor before taking Laxit Plus Syrup with other medicines as Laxit Plus Syrup may increase the rate of gastrointestinal transit, and this may affect the absorption of other orally administered medicines given simultaneously.

Overuse or prolonged use of Laxit Plus Syrup may cause dehydration. Severe dehydration may cause weakness, tremors, fainting, and blurry vision. Consult your doctor immediately if you experience these symptoms. Drink enough fluids to avoid dehydration.

Diarrhea might occur if Laxit Plus Syrup is taken in larger doses. Drink lots of fluids and eat food rich in fiber if you experience diarrhea. If you find blood in stools (tarry stools) or experience excess diarrhea consult your doctor. Do not take anti-diarrheal medicine on your own.
