About Laxitol Syp 200ml
This medication combines benzoic acid (a preservative) and lactitol monohydrate (a laxative) to treat constipation. Lactitol works by drawing water into the intestines, making bowel movements easier. Common side effects include gas, bloating, and diarrhea. Always follow your doctor's instructions, and inform them of any pre-existing medical conditions, especially kidney or liver issues, before using.
Ingredients of Laxitol Syp 200ml

Benzoic Acid: A preservative and antimicrobial agent. It works by inhibiting the growth of bacteria and fungi.

Lactitol Monohydrate: A sugar alcohol (polyol) with laxative properties. It draws water into the intestines, softening stool and promoting bowel movements.

Direction for Use of Laxitol Syp 200ml

    Treatment of constipation.

    Used as an osmotic laxative to relieve infrequent or difficult bowel movements.

How Laxitol Syp 200ml Works

Lactitol monohydrate acts as an osmotic laxative. It is poorly absorbed in the small intestine, drawing water into the colon, increasing stool bulk and frequency. Benzoic acid, in this combination, likely serves as a preservative to maintain the stability of the lactitol.
