Uses of Fibolex Syrup

Benefits of Fibolex Syrup

In Treatment of Constipation

Fibolex Syrup acts a laxative that helps treat constipation (infrequent bowel movements and hard, dry stools). It works by drawing water into your bowels and making your stools softer and easier to pass. Fibolex Syrup also increases the movement of intestines which helps empty your bowels easily. Fibolex Syrup reduces the pain and discomfort and improves your quality of life.
Fibolex Syrup might take 1-2 days to work. Take Fibolex Syrup as instructed and do not stop without consulting your doctor. To prevent constipation it is advisable to eat more high-fibre foods including fruit and vegetables and drink plenty of water.

Side effects of Fibolex Syrup

Most side effects do not require any medical attention and disappear as your body adjusts to the medicine. Consult your doctor if they persist or if you’re worried about them

Common side effects of Fibolex

  • Diarrhea
  • Stomach pain

How to use Fibolex Syrup

Take this medicine in the dose and duration as advised by your doctor. Check the label for directions before use. Measure it with a measuring cup and take it by mouth. Shake well before use. Fibolex Syrup may be taken with or without food, but it is better to take it at a fixed time.

How Fibolex Syrup works

Sodium picosulfate, liquid paraffin and milk of magnesia, which relieves constipation. Sodium picosulfate is a stimulant laxative which increases peristalsis (the wave-like movement of the intestines) to push the stools forward. Liquid paraffin is a lubricant laxative which helps retain water and fat in the stools, while milk of magnesia is an osmotic laxative which works by drawing water into the intestine through osmosis, making the stools soft. Together, they make stools easier to pass.
