Introduction About EZLAX POWDER
Ezlax Powder is an osmotic laxative which is used in adults and children (8 years and above) for the symptomatic management of constipation and regarded as temporary adjunctive therapy in an appropriate lifestyle and in dietary measures. It contains macrogol 4000 as an active ingredient which helps in loosening the stool.
Macrogol 4000 works by carrying water to your stool, which loosens and increases stool volume, helping to overcome stagnant bowels, working slowly within 24 to 48 hours.
Take Ezlax Powder as advised by your physician. Do not take if you have any intestine or colon disease (Ex. ulcerative colitis, Crohn's disease), abdominal pain of undetermined cause, any gastrointestinal perforation or bowel obstruction. Ask your doctor before giving it to your child.
