Laxolac syrup is used to treat constipation and is considered a very gentle medication for the digestive system. It does not directly stimulate bowel movements but works by drawing water into the intestines.
This water softens the stool and makes it easier to pass. This method makes it very suitable for use even for the elderly and children suffering from chronic constipation, as it does not cause severe cramps or discomfort when it first starts working.
Laxolac is distinguished by the fact that it can be used for a relatively longer period under a doctor's supervision, compared to some other laxatives that can cause rapid dependence.
It is important to mix the prescribed dose with water or another liquid before taking it, and it is preferable to take it at the same time every day for best results and to help regulate bowel movements.
