Laxward Syrup

Introduction to Laxward Syrup

Laxward Syrup is an oral laxative that is effective in treating constipation. It contains a balanced combination of ingredients that promote bowel movement by softening the stool and stimulating movement to the intestine. 

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.
