Orange Flavor Constipation Relief Powder - Macrogol 3350 with Electrolytes for Softening Stools and Hydration Balance, Effective for Chronic Constipation and Faecal Impaction - 30 Sachets
1. What Laxido Orange is and what it is used for
Laxido Orange contains macrogol 3350 and the electrolytes sodium chloride, sodium hydrogen
carbonate and potassium chloride.
Macrogol 3350 is a laxative used for the treatment of constipation, especially if you have been
constipated for a long time. It is also used to treat a build up of hard faeces in your bowel which
may be a result of long-term constipation (this is known as faecal impaction). Macrogol 3350
makes your faeces softer and easier to pass, giving you relief from constipation. The electrolytes
help to maintain your body’s normal levels of sodium, potassium and water while you are being
treated for constipation.
