How Iglax Suspension works

IGLAX suspension is a laxative product intended to ease constipation. Depending on its ingredients, it may soften stool (stool softener), increase water in the bowel (osmotic laxative), and/or stimulate intestinal movement to help pass stools.

How to take Iglax Suspension

Shake well before use. Measure the dose with a measuring cup/spoon and take as directed by a doctor/pharmacist, preferably at bedtime or as advised. Drink plenty of water and include fiber in diet; do not use for prolonged periods without medical advice.

Take it exactly as your doctor prescribed. Do not change the dose or stop early on your own.

Missed dose and overdose

If you miss a dose

Take it as soon as you remember. If your next dose is almost due, skip the one you missed — never take two doses together to catch up.

If you take too much

An overdose of this medicine can cause severe loose motions, dehydration and salt imbalance. Do not wait for symptoms to appear — go to the nearest emergency department and take the pack or strip with you.
