Softools Syrup 110ml
Description
Softools syrup is used to treat constipation in various conditions, including haemorrhoids, anal fissures, hernia, and after surgery. It contains a combination of ingredients that work together to soften stools and promote bowel movements. Liquid paraffin lubricates the intestines, Milk of Magnesia draws water into the intestines, and Sodium picosulfate stimulates bowel activity. This syrup can be helpful for people who experience infrequent or difficult bowel movements, especially those who are elderly or bedridden.
To effectively treat your condition, take Softools syrup for the duration prescribed by your doctor. This syrup must not be used for children below 18 years of age. Always shake the bottle well before consuming the syrup.
Drink plenty of fluids while using this syrup to prevent dehydration. Avoid using this syrup for more than a week to prevent dependence on it for bowel movements. Consult your doctor if you experience any significant or persistent changes in your bowel habits. Do not use Softools syrup if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or if you are giving it to children, as its safety and effectiveness in children have not been established.
