forlax® is the new age non sugar-based osmotic laxative.
It binds water molecules through hydrogen bonds to soften stools and increase their volume.
As a result, the patient will feel the natural urge to move their bowels without any abdominal cramping or bloating.
forlax® consists of Macrogol 4000, is an orange-grapefruit flavored, gentle acting osmotic laxative. It is neither absorbed nor metabolized, and upon ingestion forlax® hydrates and softens the stools.
Its effectiveness is demonstrated by the return to normal transit within 24 to 48 hours after its administration, with a daily stool with no straining, as early as in the first week of treatment. forlax® is a unique treatment option that has proven efficacy without any compromise in safety. Due to forlax®’s active ingredient and gentle mode of action, patients will not develop a dependency on this product.
Best of all, forlax® is not absorbed and does not react chemically with the body. So it if safe for pregnant and lactating women too. (Generally, pregnant and lactating women should consult their doctor before taking any medication) forlax® does not contain any sugar or salt, which makes it safe for diabetics and kidney disease patients. forlax® is also safe for virtually everyone else.
