How it works
Easylax Plus Oral Emulsion is a combination of three laxatives: Liquid Paraffin, Milk of Magnesia and Sodium Picosulfate that 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.
Quick Tips
Eat more fiber in your diet. Recommended daily intake is 20-35g. Drink 8-10 glasses of water per day. Exercise regularly at least 3 times per week. Do not hold in stool as that can worsen bowel issues.
