Medicine Description laxeol-p 5mg
Laxeol-P 5 mg tablets is a medication formulated with magnesium hydroxide and sodium picosulfate, two components that work synergistically to alleviate constipation. Magnesium hydroxide acts as an osmotic laxative, drawing water into the intestines, which increases stool water content and promotes a softer stool consistency. This facilitates easier passage through the digestive tract. Concurrently, sodium picosulfate functions as a stimulant laxative, enhancing bowel motility by stimulating the nerve endings in the colon. This dual mechanism helps to not only soften but also stimulate the bowel, improving overall intestinal function and promoting regular bowel movements.
