LOOZ 2.5MG TAB

About

LOOZ 2.5MG TAB is a stimulant laxative, typically containing an active ingredient like Bisacodyl, designed for the short-term relief of constipation. It works by directly stimulating the nerves in the colon, which leads to increased fluid secretion into the bowel and enhanced muscle contractions (peristalsis). This dual action helps to soften the stool and facilitate its passage, promoting a bowel movement.

The medication is effective in providing predictable relief, usually within 6 to 12 hours when taken orally. It is commonly used for occasional constipation and can also be prescribed for bowel preparation before medical procedures such as colonoscopies or surgeries. Due to its stimulant nature, LOOZ 2.5MG TAB is generally recommended for short-term use to avoid dependency and potential electrolyte imbalances associated with prolonged use.
