How Laxward Syrup works

Milk of magnesia and liquid paraffin are present in this formula which provides immediate relief from constipation. It increases water flow in the intestine by reducing stomach acid which induces defecation. Milk of magnesia is also a laxative that has osmotic properties that cause movements in the intestine, while liquid paraffin lubricates the bowel, softens the stool, and eases defecation. Picosulfate is also a laxative that acts by stimulating the nerve endings in the colon. This action enhances the peristaltic movements (contraction of muscles) and promotes bowel movements, assisting in relieving constipation.

Talk to your doctor diarrhea persists and you notice any signs of dehydration, like less urination with dark colored and strong-smelling urine. Do not take any other medicine without consulting a doctor.
