Softner Plus Suspension is used to treat constipation associated with piles, anal fissures, hernias, cardiovascular disorders, endoscopy, bowel clearance before radioscopy, pre/post-operative conditions, and elderly and bedridden patients. Constipation refers to infrequent bowel movements in which the stools are often dry, painful and hard to pass.
Softner Plus Suspension contains Sodium picosulphate, magnesium hydroxide and liquid paraffin. Sodiumpico sulphate works by preventing the absorption of water in the colonic lumen and stimulates the propulsive activity of the colon, thereby promoting the accumulation of water. Magnesium hydroxide works by increasing the osmotic gradient in the gut by drawing the water into the intestine. Thus, it helps bowel evacuation. Liquid paraffin works by lubricating the bowels and softening the stools. Together, Softner Plus Suspension helps relieve constipation.
You are advised to take Softner Plus Suspension for as long as your doctor has prescribed it for you, depending on your medical condition. In some cases, Softner Plus Suspension may cause certain common side effects such as diarrhoea, abdominal discomfort, pain or cramps. 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.
Do not take Softner Plus Suspension for more than a week as it might cause dependency on Softner Plus Suspension 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 Softner Plus Suspension if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. Softner Plus Suspension should not be given to children as safety and effectiveness have not been established.
Softner Plus Suspension belongs to the group of medicines called laxatives 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. Softner Plus Suspension is a combination of three drugs: Sodium picosulphate, magnesium hydroxide, and liquid paraffin. Sodium picosulphate is a stimulant laxative that prevents the absorption of water in the colonic lumen and stimulates the colon's propulsive activity, thereby promoting water accumulation. Magnesium hydroxide is an osmotic laxative that increases the osmotic gradient in the gut by drawing the water into the intestine, thereby helping in bowel evacuation. Liquid paraffin is a lubricant which works by lubricating the bowels and softening the stools. Together, Softner Plus Suspension helps relieve constipation.
Do not take Softner Plus Suspension if you are allergic to any of its contents; if you have/had acute abdominal surgery, intestinal obstruction, or undiagnosed abdominal pain. Drink plenty of fluids (at least 6-8 glasses) while taking Softner Plus Suspension . Do not use Softner Plus Suspension for more than 7 days unless advised by the doctor, as it might cause dependency on Softner Plus Suspension 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 Softner Plus Suspension if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.
Drug-Drug Interactions: Softner Plus Suspension may interact with antibiotics (tetracycline), diuretics (furosemide), and steroids (prednisolone).
Drug-Food Interactions: No interactions found/established.
Drug-Disease Interaction: Inform your doctor if you have intestinal obstruction disorder, appendicitis, intestinal blockage, and bowel inflammation.
Constipation: It refers to infrequent bowel movements. The stools are often dry, painful and hard to pass. Constipation is a condition in which the person has fewer than three bowel movements in a week. However, bowel patterns may vary from person to person. Symptoms include bloating, abdominal pain, and feeling as if the bowel movement is incomplete. Constipation occurs when the normal muscle contractions in the large intestine slow down, which causes the incomplete elimination of the bowel from the body. Constipation could be associated with a sudden change of diet, a diet with less fibre, not drinking enough liquids, lack of exercise, loss of tone of the bowel muscles in older people or staying in bed for a longer duration.
