About Laxcard Husk Powder Orange

Laxcard Husk Powder Orange belongs to the class of medicines called laxatives used to treat constipation. Constipation refers to infrequent bowel movements in which the stools are often dry, painful, and hard to pass. Constipation occurs when the normal muscle contractions in the large intestine slow down, which causes the incomplete elimination of the bowel from the body. Symptoms include bloating, abdominal pain, and feeling as if the bowel movement is incomplete.

Laxcard Husk Powder Orange contains Ispaghula and Lactitol. Ispaghula is a bulk-forming laxative that works by increasing the amount of water in the stool, making the stool softer and easier to pass. Lactitol is a disaccharide sugar. It works by breaking down into low-molecular-weight organic acids in the colon, which increases the osmotic pressure. This causes an increase in water content in stools and stool volume, thereby making the stool softer and easier to pass. Thus, Laxcard Husk Powder Orange provides relief from constipation.

Take Laxcard Husk Powder Orange as prescribed by your doctor. You are advised to take Laxcard Husk Powder Orange for as long as your doctor has prescribed it for you, depending on your medical condition. You may experience certain common side effects in some cases, such as abdominal distension, cramps, and flatulence (gas). Most of these side effects do not require medical attention and will resolve gradually over time. However, you are advised to talk to your doctor if you experience these side effects persistently.

Drink plenty of fluids (at least 6-8 glasses) while taking Laxcard Husk Powder Orange. Consult your doctor before taking Laxcard Husk Powder Orange if you are pregnant or breastfeeding; your doctor will prescribe you Laxcard Husk Powder Orange only if the benefits outweigh the risks. Inform your doctor if there is no bowel movement or if you find rectal bleeding after taking Laxcard Husk Powder Orange. Do not take Laxcard Husk Powder Orange for more than a week as it might cause dependency on Laxcard Husk Powder Orange for a bowel movement.
