LAXIDAC®

Milk of magnesia, liquid paraffin, and sodium picosulfate are commonly combined to address constipation issues. Milk of magnesia, or magnesium hydroxide, functions as an osmotic laxative, drawing water into the intestines to soften stools and facilitate bowel movements. Liquid paraffin, also known as mineral oil, acts as a lubricant laxative, coating the stool and intestinal walls to ease passage through the colon. Sodium picosulfate, a stimulant laxative, stimulates intestinal muscles, enhancing bowel motility and promoting stool movement. This combination provides a multifaceted approach to relieve constipation, targeting different aspects of bowel function to facilitate regularity. However, it’s vital to use these medications according to healthcare professional guidance and be aware of potential side effects or interactions.
