About Relux Sugar Free Liquid 500 ml

Relux Sugar Free Liquid 500 ml belongs to the group of medicines called osmotic laxatives, used to treat occasional constipation. Constipation refers to infrequent bowel movements in which the stools are often dry, hard and painful to pass. Constipation occurs when the normal muscle contractions in the large intestine slow down, which causes the incomplete elimination of stools from the body.

Relux Sugar Free Liquid 500 ml contains ‘Polyethene glycol’, which causes the water to be retained in the stools, thereby stimulating bowel movement. It increases the number of bowel movements, softens the stools and makes it easier to pass. Therefore, Relux Sugar Free Liquid 500 ml helps provide relief from constipation.
