Stomffin Oral Suspension Sugar Free 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.

Stomffin Oral Suspension Sugar Free is prescribed for short-term relief from constipation. 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. Do not take any other laxative along with Stomffin Oral Suspension Sugar Free without consulting your doctor. 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.
