Easylax Syrup 200 ml

Easylax Syrup belongs to the group of medicines called laxatives used to treat constipation. Constipation refers to infrequent bowel movements in which the stools are often dry, painful and hard to pass.  Symptoms include bloating, abdominal pain, and feeling as if the bowel movement is incomplete.

Easylax Syrup contains magnesium hydroxide (osmotic laxative) and liquid paraffin (lubricant). Magnesium hydroxide works by drawing water into the intestine through osmosis, while liquid paraffin has lubricant properties that help retain water in the stools. Together, they make the stool soft making it easier to pass.
