Smulax Liquid 100ML

Product Description

Smulax Liquid is a trusted laxative medicine primarily used to treat constipation and manage hepatic encephalopathy. It contains lactulose, a compound that draws water into the bowel, softening stools and easing bowel movements. This action not only relieves constipation but also helps reduce ammonia levels in the blood, supporting brain function in patients with liver disease.

Smulax Liquid is effective for chronic constipation, hard stools, and bowel preparation before medical procedures. It is suitable for adults, the elderly, and, under medical supervision, pregnant women experiencing constipation.
