Microlax for children, 0 to 3 years old 4 pcs.

MICROLAX® is a combined preparation with laxative effect. The effect occurs after 5-15 minutes. The preparation consists of sodium citrate (peptide, which displaces bound water contained in stools), sodium lauryl sulfoacetate (liquefies intestinal contents) and sorbitol (increases the laxative effect by stimulating water flow into the intestine).

Increase in water due to peptization and liquefaction promotes softening of stools and facilitates bowel emptying.

Indications

Constipation, including encopresis, preparation for endoscopic (rectoscopy) and radiological examination of the gastrointestinal tract.
