CompositionColax Syrup is used to relieve constipation by promoting regular bowel movements. It is often used for constipation linked to piles, anal fissures, reduced mobility, or medicine-induced slowing of the bowel.
It contains sodium picosulfate. It is a laxative that stimulates the muscles of the bowel, making the stool easier and less painful to pass. Take it as advised by your doctor, usually at bedtime, using the measuring cup provided.
Drinking plenty of water, eating fibre-rich foods such as fruits and vegetables, and staying physically active can help support regular bowel movements alongside this syrup.
Use only the dose recommended by your doctor to avoid excessive diarrhoea and loss of fluids or salts from the body. Avoid using laxatives for long periods without medical advice, as this can lead to dependence. Tell your doctor if you have severe stomach pain, feel sick, or have a history of blockage in the intestine.
