Trilaxa Syrup

About Trilaxa Syrup

Trilaxa Syrup from TORRENT PHARMACEUTICALS LTD. is a three-ingredient laxative used to relieve constipation, available as a 200 ml bottle. Each 5 ml contains Sodium Picosulfate (3.33 mg), Liquid Paraffin (1.25 ml) and Milk of Magnesia (3.75 ml).

How it works: Sodium Picosulfate stimulates the bowel to move, Liquid Paraffin coats and softens the stool so it passes smoothly, and Milk of Magnesia draws water into the bowel to loosen hard stools. Together they help you pass stool comfortably without straining. It usually works within 6 to 12 hours.

How to use: Shake the bottle well and measure each dose with the cup provided, not a kitchen spoon. It is usually taken once at night; take the dose your doctor advises. Do not lie down immediately after taking it. Drink plenty of water and eat fibre-rich food. Stop once you get relief, and do not use it regularly for a long time without medical advice.

Store it as directed on the pack, away from direct sunlight and moisture, and out of the reach of children.

Where other brands with the same composition (Sodium Picosulfate + Liquid Paraffin + Milk of Magnesia) are available, MedZoneAI shows them on this page so you can compare prices before you buy.
