Laxido Junior Neutral

Macrogol 3350, the active ingredient in Laxido Junior Neutral, is an osmotic laxative presented as a powder for oral use, combined with sodium hydrogen carbonate, potassium chloride and sodium chloride to maintain electrolyte balance. It helps relieve constipation in children and can be used for bowel cleansing before diagnostic procedures.

Laxido Junior Neutral is used to manage constipation and to prepare the bowel for diagnostic examinations in pediatric patients. - Constipation in children: softens stool and promotes regular bowel movements. - Bowel preparation for colonoscopy: clears the intestinal tract before the procedure. - Fecal impaction: helps evacuate hardened stool in acute cases. - Chronic functional constipation: supports long‑term bowel regularity.

Laxido Junior Neutral may cause a range of adverse reactions, most of which are mild and transient.

Common Side Effects: - Abdominal bloating: feeling of fullness or swelling in the abdomen. - Nausea: mild to moderate sensation of wanting to vomit. - Flatulence: increased gas production. - Diarrhoea: loose, watery stools. - Abdominal pain: cramping or discomfort. - Mild electrolyte disturbance: slight changes in sodium or potassium levels.
