Laxikem Plus Laxative comprises three active ingredients that work together to relieve constipation:

• Liquid Paraffin (1.25 ml): This ingredient acts as a lubricant laxative. It forms a slick layer on the walls of your intestines and softens your stool, making it easier to pass.

• Magnesium Hydroxide (3.75 ml): Also known as Milk of Magnesia, magnesium hydroxide is an osmotic laxative. It works by pulling water into your intestines which increases stool volume and triggers bowel movement. Additionally, it neutralises stomach acid providing relief from acidity.

• Sodium Picosulphate (3.33 mg): This is a stimulant laxative which boosts peristaltic movement in the colon (the wave-like contractions that propel food along your digestive tract), thereby promoting bowel evacuation. It gets converted into an active metabolite by colonic bacteria which stimulates the intestinal mucosa.

• Always store Laxikem Plus Laxative at room temperature, preferably not exceeding 30°C.

• Keep the container tightly closed in a cool, dry place.

• Avoid exposing it to direct sunlight, heat or moisture.

• Keep this medicine out of reach of children and pets.

• Since Laxikem Plus Laxative manages constipation, include fibre-rich foods in your diet such as whole grains, fruits, and vegetables. This will help promote regular bowel movements.

• Stay well-hydrated by drinking plenty of fluids like water and fruit juices. This aids in softening the stool, making it easier to pass.
