GUDLEX PLUS SYP 110ML

About

Gudlex Plus Syrup is a combination laxative formulated to provide effective relief from chronic constipation. It typically contains an osmotic laxative, such as lactulose, which works by drawing water into the colon, softening the stool and increasing its bulk. This makes the stool easier to pass. Additionally, it may include a stimulant laxative component, which gently stimulates the bowel muscles to promote peristalsis and facilitate evacuation. This dual mechanism of action ensures comprehensive relief, addressing both stool consistency and bowel movement frequency. It is particularly useful for individuals who require more robust intervention for persistent constipation, helping to restore regular bowel function and alleviate associated discomfort. The syrup form allows for flexible dosing and easier administration.

Uses

• Relief from occasional constipation
