Medicine Description uroxate 3 gm
Uroxate 3 gm sachets is a medication that contains magnesium citrate, which primarily functions as an osmotic laxative. The mechanism of action involves the attraction of water into the intestines, leading to increased fluid volume in the bowel. This, in turn, stimulates bowel motility and facilitates easier passage of stool. By pulling excess water into the intestines, magnesium citrate helps soften the stool and promotes bowel movements, making it effective for individuals experiencing constipation. Furthermore, the increased osmotic pressure results in enhanced moisture retention within the colon, aiding in overall digestive health.
