Laxido Orange Sugar Free Sachets
Laxido Orange Sugar Free Sachets are an effective oral treatment designed to relieve chronic constipation and faecal impaction in adults and the elderly. Each sachet contains macrogol 3350, a type of laxative that draws water into the bowel to soften stools, making them easier to pass. This sugar-free formula is orange-flavoured, making it more palatable, especially for long-term use.
The gentle osmotic action of macrogol helps restore normal bowel function without causing sudden urgency. In addition, sodium chloride, sodium bicarbonate, and potassium chloride work together to help maintain your body’s normal salt and fluid balance during treatment.
Price range: £6.99 through £9.99
