About Malfree-D Powder

Malfree-D Powder 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 incomplete bowel movements, and dry, hard stools, which are difficult to pass.

Malfree-D Powder contains Lactitol, Inulin, and Isabgol. Lactitol augments osmotic pressure in the colon; this increases the water content in the stool and stool volume. Inulin supports the growth of bacteria, which improves bowel function and general health. Isabgol absorbs water in the gastrointestinal tract to form a mucilaginous mass which increases stool volume and promotes muscle contractions. Thereby, Malfree-D Powder helps treat constipation.

Take Malfree-D Powder as advised by the doctor. In some cases, Malfree-D Powder may cause common side effects, such as diarrhoea, abdominal pain/cramps, and abdominal discomfort. 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 the side effects persist or worsen.
