Freelex Syrup 170 ml

Your doctor may prescribe Freelex Syrup to treat the following conditions:

• Constipation: Freelex Syrup helps relieve infrequent or difficult bowel movements by lubricating the digestive tract and drawing water into the bowel to make stools easier to pass.
• Painful bowel conditions: For individuals dealing with painful conditions like piles (haemorrhoids) or anal fissures, Freelex Syrup softens the stool to reduce straining and prevent further irritation during bowel movements.
• Post-surgical bowel clearance: Doctors may recommend this medicine after surgery to ensure smooth, strain-free bowel movements, helping to protect healing surgical sites in the abdominal or rectal area.

Freelex Syrup helps relieve constipation by softening stools and making bowel movements easier and more comfortable. Key benefits include:

• Relieves Constipation: Softens stools and promotes smoother bowel movements, making it easier to pass stool.
• Reduces Straining During Bowel Movements: Helps minimise excessive straining, which can worsen conditions such as haemorrhoids and anal fissures.
• Improves Digestive Comfort: Helps relieve the bloated, heavy, and uncomfortable feeling associated with constipation.
• Supports Regular Bowel Habits: Encourages more predictable and regular bowel movements when used as directed.
• Promotes Comfortable Recovery: Helps restore normal bowel function, allowing you to return to your daily activities with greater comfort.

• Freelex Syrup can be taken with or without food, as advised by your doctor.
• It is recommended to take Freelex Syrup before bedtime. However, follow your doctor's instructions on the dosage and timing of this medication.
• Check the label for directions before using Freelex Syrup.
• Shake the bottle well before each use.
• Take the prescribed dose by mouth using the measuring cup/dosing syringe/dropper provided with the pack.
• Avoid using regular household spoons, as they may not measure the dose correctly.

• Increase dietary fibre: Gradually add more fibre-rich foods to your meals, such as whole grains, fresh fruits, vegetables, beans, and lentils, to help add natural bulk to your stool.
• Stay well-hydrated: Drink plenty of fluids, especially water, throughout the day. This is crucial because osmotic laxatives require adequate water in your body to soften stool effectively.
• Engage in regular physical activity: Gentle daily movement, like walking for 20 to 30 minutes, stimulates the natural contractions of your digestive tract muscles.
• Listen to your body: Do not ignore or delay the urge to have a bowel movement, as waiting can cause stool to become drier and harder to pass.

• Shake well before use: Always shake the bottle thoroughly before measuring each dose to ensure the ingredients are evenly mixed.
• Use for short-term relief only: Do not use Freelex Syrup for longer than one week unless your doctor advises otherwise, as prolonged use may lead to dependence on laxatives.
• Space it from other medicines: Take other oral medicines at least 2 hours before or after Freelex Syrup, as it may reduce their absorption.
• Take it while sitting or standing: Do not take this medicine immediately before bedtime or while lying down, as liquid paraffin may accidentally enter the lungs and cause breathing problems.
• Consult your doctor if symptoms persist: Stop using Freelex Syrup and seek medical advice if your constipation or changes in bowel habits last for more than two weeks.
