• Treatment of Constipation

Freelex Plus Syrup is a combination of three laxatives: Liquid Paraffin, Milk of Magnesia and Sodium Picosulfate that relieves constipation. Sodium Picosulfate is a stimulant laxative which increases peristalsis (the wave-like movement of the intestines) to push the stools forward. Liquid Paraffin is a lubricant laxative which helps retain water and fat in the stools, while Milk of Magnesia is an osmotic laxative which works by drawing water into the intestine through osmosis, making the stools soft. Together, they make stools easier to pass.

Take this medicine in the dose and duration as advised by your doctor. Check the label for directions before use. Measure it with a measuring cup and take it by mouth. Shake well before use. Freelex Plus Syrup may be taken with or without food, but it is better to take it at a fixed time.
