About Milmafin Plus

Milmafin Plus belongs to the group 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.  Symptoms include bloating, abdominal pain, and feeling as if the bowel movement is incomplete.

Milmafin Plus contains magnesium hydroxide (osmotic laxative) and liquid paraffin (lubricant). Magnesium hydroxide works by drawing water into the intestine through osmosis, while liquid paraffin has lubricant properties that help retain water in the stools. Together, they make the stool soft making it easier to pass.

Milmafin Plus should be taken as recommended. In some cases, you may experience common side effects such as diarrhoea, abdominal discomfort, pain, or cramps. 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.

Do not take Milmafin Plus if you're allergic to any ingredient in it. Do not take Milmafin Plus for more than a week as it might cause dependency on Milmafin Plus for a bowel movement. Talk to your doctor if you notice any sudden changes in bowel habits that persist for over two weeks. Consult your doctor before taking Milmafin Plus if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. Milmafin Plus to be given with caution to children if recommended by the doctor.

Milmafin Plus does not help with weight loss. It does not reduce the absorption of calories or nutrients. Milmafin Plus may cause dehydration which feels like weight loss. Drink enough liquids to prevent dehydration.

Diarrhoea might occur if Milmafin Plus is taken in larger doses. Drink lots of fluids and eat food rich in fibre if you experience diarrhoea. If you find blood in stools (tarry stools) or experience excess diarrhoea consult your doctor. Do not take anti-diarrheal medicine on your own.

Overuse or prolonged use of Milmafin Plus may cause dehydration. Severe dehydration may cause weakness, tremors, fainting, and blurry vision. Consult your doctor immediately if you experience these symptoms. Drink enough fluids to avoid dehydration.

Consult your doctor before taking Milmafin Plus with other medicines as Milmafin Plus may increase the rate of gastrointestinal transit, which may affect the absorption of other orally administered medicines taken simultaneously.

Disease/Condition Glossary

Constipation: It refers to infrequent bowel movements. The stools are often dry, painful and hard to pass. Constipation is a condition in which the person has fewer than three bowel movements in a week. However, bowel patterns may vary from person to person. Symptoms include bloating, abdominal pain, and feeling as if the bowel movement is incomplete. Constipation occurs when the normal muscle contractions in the large intestine slow down, which causes the incomplete elimination of bowel from the body. Constipation could be associated with a sudden change of diet, a diet with less fibre, not drinking enough liquids, lack of exercise, loss of tone of the bowel muscles in older people or staying in bed for a longer duration.
