How Laxido Works for Constipation Relief

Laxido products contain macrogol, an osmotic laxative that works by drawing water into the bowel, softening the stool and increasing its bulk. This helps to stimulate natural bowel movements, providing gentle yet effective relief from constipation and faecal impaction. It's a non-stimulant approach, meaning it works with your body's natural processes.

  • Effective Bowel Management: Ideal for both chronic constipation and acute faecal impaction.
  • Gentle Action: Works by hydrating and softening stools, reducing discomfort during bowel movements.
  • Convenient Dosing: Simple powder sachets easily mix with water for a pleasant orange flavour.
