Laxofit Oral Solution 5 mg/5 ml contains Sodium Picosulfate, a stimulant laxative used for the short-term management of constipation. It is formulated to provide a convenient and easily administered liquid dosage, making it suitable for both adults and children who may have difficulty swallowing tablets. Sodium Picosulfate works by stimulating the bowel to promote natural and effective bowel movements.

This oral solution helps relieve discomfort associated with constipation, including straining, bloating, and irregular bowel habits, and is also used for bowel preparation before diagnostic procedures such as colonoscopy.

Composition

Each 5 ml of Laxofit Oral Solution contains:

• Sodium Picosulfate 5 mg

Mechanism of Action

Sodium Picosulfate is a stimulant laxative that acts primarily on the large intestine. Its mechanism includes:

• Stimulating the nerve endings in the colonic walls, enhancing peristaltic contractions

• Increasing bowel motility to facilitate stool movement

• Promoting water accumulation in the colon, softening stools for easier passage

This dual action of stimulation and stool softening makes Sodium Picosulfate highly effective in relieving constipation quickly.
