About CARDIOLAX POWDER

CARDIOLAX POWDER belongs to the class of medicines called laxatives used to treat constipation. Constipation refers to infrequent bowel movements in which the stools are often dry, painful, and hard to pass. Constipation occurs when the normal muscle contractions in the large intestine slow down, which causes the incomplete elimination of the bowel from the body. Symptoms include bloating, abdominal pain, and feeling as if the bowel movement is incomplete.

CARDIOLAX POWDER contains Ispaghula and Lactitol. Ispaghula is a bulk-forming laxative that works by increasing the amount of water in the stool, making the stool softer and easier to pass. Lactitol is a disaccharide sugar. It works by breaking down into low-molecular-weight organic acids in the colon, which increases the osmotic pressure. This causes an increase in water content in stools and stool volume, thereby making the stool softer and easier to pass. Thus, CARDIOLAX POWDER provides relief from constipation.

Take CARDIOLAX POWDER as prescribed by your doctor. You are advised to take CARDIOLAX POWDER for as long as your doctor has prescribed it for you, depending on your medical condition. You may experience certain common side effects in some cases, such as abdominal distension, cramps, and flatulence (gas). Most of these side effects do not require medical attention and will resolve gradually over time. However, you are advised to talk to your doctor if you experience these side effects persistently.

Drink plenty of fluids (at least 6-8 glasses) while taking CARDIOLAX POWDER. Consult your doctor before taking CARDIOLAX POWDER if you are pregnant or breastfeeding; your doctor will prescribe you CARDIOLAX POWDER only if the benefits outweigh the risks. Inform your doctor if there is no bowel movement or if you find rectal bleeding after taking CARDIOLAX POWDER. Do not take CARDIOLAX POWDER for more than a week as it might cause dependency on CARDIOLAX POWDER for a bowel movement.

Medicinal Benefits

CARDIOLAX POWDER belongs to a group of medicines known as laxatives used to treat constipation. CARDIOLAX POWDER is a combination of two drugs: Ispaghula and Lactitol. Ispaghula is a bulk-forming laxative that increases the amount of water in the stool, making the stool softer and easier to pass. On the other hand, Lactitol is a disaccharide sugar. It breaks down into low-molecular-weight organic acids in the colon, increasing the osmotic pressure. This causes an increase in water content in stools, and stool volume, thereby making the stool softer and easier to pass. Thus, CARDIOLAX POWDER helps provide relief from constipation.
