GUDLAX PLUS SUSP 200ML

About

Gudlax Plus Suspension is a potent combination laxative designed for the effective management of chronic and severe constipation. It typically combines an osmotic agent, such as lactulose, which works by drawing water into the intestines, thereby softening the stool and increasing its volume. This action facilitates easier passage. Additionally, it often includes a stimulant laxative component that gently stimulates the bowel muscles, promoting peristalsis and accelerating the movement of stool through the colon. This dual-action approach ensures comprehensive relief, addressing both the consistency of the stool and the frequency of bowel movements. The suspension form allows for flexible dosing and easier administration, particularly for patients who struggle with solid medications, ensuring effective and comfortable relief.
