Rafalac-P S/F Susp Substitute

Rafalac-P S/F Susp is a combination of three drugs: Sodium picosulphate (stimulant laxative), Milk of magnesia (osmotic laxative), and liquid paraffin (lubricant). Sodium picosulphate works by preventing water absorption in the colonic lumen and stimulating the colon's propulsive activity, thereby promoting water accumulation. Milk of magnesia works by increasing the osmotic gradient in the gut by drawing the water into the intestine, thereby helps in bowel evacuation. Liquid paraffin works by lubricating the bowels and softens the stools. Together, Rafalac-P S/F Susp helps in providing relief from constipation.
