Constilac Laxative Syrup works by drawing water into the intestine through osmosis which makes the stool soft and easier to pass.

Constilac Laxative Syrup is used in the treatment of constipation and hepatic encephalopathy. It should preferably be taken at bedtime as it requires 6 to 8 hours to show effect. It is usually taken once a day as needed for up to 2 weeks. Take it exactly as prescribed by the doctor. Take it at least 2 hours after taking other medicines as it may interfere with the absorption of other medicines. Inform your doctor if you have a history of stomach disorders such as appendicitis or a blockage in your bowel.
