Lexatin Syrup 170ml Description
Lexatin Syrup is a laxative used to provide relief from constipation. It contains a combination of liquid paraffin and milk of magnesia/magnesium hydroxide as active ingredients. Constipation occurs
when the normal muscle action in the bowel (large intestine) slows down, and the stools are not easily removed from the body. A laxative like Lexatin Syrup increases bowel movements, thereby helping to push out the stools. This syrup is not to be used in children under 2 years of age. Take this medicine exactly as directed by your doctor. Shake well before use. Inform your doctor before taking Lexatin Syrup if you are pregnant, planning on becoming pregnant, or breastfeeding. Eating a balanced diet, drinking enough water, exercising regularly, and making time to empty your bowels when your body tells you are some of the tips to be followed to try to prevent constipation.
