About Smuth Fiber Lemon Orange Granules 105 gm

Smuth Fiber Lemon Orange Granules 105 gm 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.

Smuth Fiber Lemon Orange Granules 105 gm is a combination of two drugs; Ispaghula husk and Lactitol. Ispaghula husk is a bulk-forming laxative that increases the amount of water in the stool, making the stool softer and easier to pass. It can absorb 14 times more water than its weight.
