Quick Tips
Take Iglax Suspension after 2 hours from other medicines as it may interfere with the absorption of other medicines. Iglax Suspension should be preferably taken at bedtime because it requires 6 to 8 hours to show impact. Avoid taking a Iglax Suspension for more than 1 week unless prescribed by the doctor as it leads to dependency on the laxative action to produce a bowel movement.
