Medicine Description laxomag 125 mg
laxomag 125 ml syrup is a medication that combines magnesium hydroxide and sorbitol to promote bowel movements. Magnesium hydroxide acts as an osmotic laxative by drawing water into the intestines, which helps to soften stools and stimulate peristalsis. Sorbitol, a sugar alcohol, also contributes to this osmotic effect by retaining water in the colon and increasing stool bulk. Together, these ingredients facilitate easier passage of stool and alleviate constipation symptoms.
