Freelex-Plus Syrup is used to treat constipation associated with piles, anal fissures, hernia, cardiovascular disorders, endoscopy, bowel clearance before radioscopy, pre/post-operative conditions, elderly and bed-ridden patients. Constipation refers to infrequent bowel movements in which the stools are often dry, painful, and hard to pass. 

Freelex-Plus Syrup contains liquid paraffin (lubricant), Milk Of Magnesia (hyperosmotic laxative), and Sodium picosulphate (stimulant laxative). Liquid paraffin works by lubricating the bowels and softening the stools. Milk of magnesia works by increasing the osmotic gradient in the gut by drawing the water into the intestine, thereby helping in bowel evacuation. Sodium picosulphate works by preventing water absorption in the colonic lumen and stimulating the colon's propulsive activity, thereby promoting water accumulation. Together, Freelex-Plus Syrup helps in providing relief from constipation. 

You are advised to take Freelex-Plus Syrup for as long as your doctor has prescribed it for you, depending on your medical condition. You may experience certain common side effects such as diarrhoea, abdominal discomfort, pain, or cramps in some cases. Most of these side effects do not require medical attention and will resolve gradually over time. However, you are advised to talk to your doctor if you experience these side effects persistently.

To treat your condition effectually, continue taking Freelex-Plus Syrup for as long as your doctor has prescribed. Drink plenty of fluids (at least 6-8 glasses) while taking Freelex-Plus Syrup to prevent dehydration. Do not take Freelex-Plus Syrup for more than a week as it might cause dependency on Freelex-Plus Syrup for a bowel movement. Talk to your doctor if you notice any sudden changes in bowel habits that persist for over 2 weeks. Consult your doctor before taking Freelex-Plus Syrup if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. Freelex-Plus Syrup should not be given to children as safety and effectiveness have not been established.

Freelex-Plus Syrup is used to treat constipation. It contains liquid paraffin, Milk Of Magnesia, and Sodium picosulphate. Liquid paraffin is a lubricant that works by lubricating the bowels and softening the stools. Milk of magnesia is a naturally occurring component that reduces the stomach's acid amount and increases the water content in the intestine, which causes easy bowel movements. Sodium picosulfate works by increasing the muscle's movement so that waste can be easily passed through the body. Together, it helps treat constipation.
