Laxido Orange Sachets
What is Laxido Orange?
Laxido is used to treat chronic long-term constipation and can also be used to treat a build-up in the bowel.
What is the active ingredient in Laxido and how does it work?
The active ingredient, Macrogol 3350, is a laxative that makes stools softer and easier to pass by absorbing water into the stool. Electrolytes help to maintain the body's normal levels of sodium, potassium, and water whilst giving relief from constipation.
It can take between 1 and 2 days to work as this is how long it takes the active ingredient, Macrogol 3350, to soften your stools to allow it to be passed more easily.
