Klyx

Docusate sodium and sorbitol, the active ingredient in Klyx, is a stool softener and osmotic laxative presented as a rectal suppository for rectal use. It helps relieve occasional constipation in adult patients by softening stool and promoting easier evacuation, and may be used when dietary measures are insufficient.

Klyx, containing docusate sodium and sorbitol, is used to manage constipation, a disorder of reduced bowel motility, by softening stool and increasing intestinal water content.

Constipation: softens stool and facilitates easier passage in adults Hard stool: increases water content to reduce stool hardness Delayed bowel movements: promotes regularity by enhancing stool moisture Occasional constipation after surgery: helps restore normal bowel function Anal fissure prevention: reduces straining during defecation Pregnancy‑related constipation: provides gentle stool softening when other measures fail

Klyx may cause adverse reactions, most of which are mild and transient.
