Laxobron Syrup Uses
Constipation is a very common issue faced by many people especially children all around the world. Many older people, children, and immobile patients face constipation. To treat conventional constipation, doctors usually prescribe Laxoberon syrup. The primary purpose of the syrup is to enhance bowel movements and treat constipation.
Laxoberon has Sodium Picosulfate as an active ingredient which is a stimulant laxative. It functions by softening the stool and allowing it to easily pass out of the body. The mechanism of action of Sodium Picosulfate is to gently activate the bowel muscles to accelerate peristalsis and force the contents of the intestine out of the body. Laxatives bring water into your intestine and energize the colon to expel the contents out of it.
