How does it work?2
Providing patients with reassuring relief from chronic constipation.
Laxido® Orange contains the active ingredient macrogol 3350, which helps to soften stools making them easier to pass, giving you relief from chronic constipation.
Macrogol 3350 is a laxative used for the treatment of constipation, especially if you have been constipated for a long time. It is also used to treat a build-up of hard faeces in your bowel, which may be a result of long-term constipation (this is known as faecal impaction).
Laxido Orange contains electrolytes, which help to maintain your body’s normal levels of sodium, potassium, and water while you are being treated for constipation.
How to take
- Pour the contents of one sachet of Laxido® Orange into a glass
- Add 125 ml of water
- Stir the mixture until the powder has dissolved
- Drink the solution
If you are being treated for faecal impaction, you can dissolve the contents of all eight sachets together in a large container (in one litre of water).
