Medicinal Benefits

Softner Plus Suspension belongs to the group of medicines called laxatives used to treat constipation associated with piles, anal fissure, hernia, cardiovascular disorder, endoscopy, bowel clearance before radioscopy, pre/post-operative conditions, elderly and bed-ridden patients. Softner Plus Suspension is a combination of three drugs: Sodium picosulphate, magnesium hydroxide, and liquid paraffin. Sodium picosulphate is a stimulant laxative that prevents the absorption of water in the colonic lumen and stimulates the colon's propulsive activity, thereby promoting water accumulation. Magnesium hydroxide is an osmotic laxative that increases the osmotic gradient in the gut by drawing the water into the intestine, thereby helping in bowel evacuation. Liquid paraffin is a lubricant which works by lubricating the bowels and softens the stools. Together, Softner Plus Suspension helps in providing relief from constipation.
