Frequently asked questions

What is Laxido used for?+
Laxido is an oral osmotic laxative indicated for the relief of constipation. It works by increasing the water content of stool, making it softer and easier to pass, and is used in both adult and pediatric patients who need assistance with regular bowel movements.
How does macrogol 3350 work?+
Macrogol 3350 is a high‑molecular‑weight polyethylene glycol that stays within the intestinal lumen. It binds water osmotically, raising the fluid volume of the stool. This softens the fecal mass and stimulates peristalsis, facilitating spontaneous bowel movements without being absorbed into the bloodstream.
What determines the dose of Laxido?+
The appropriate dose of Laxido is individualized and set by a qualified prescriber based on the patient’s age, weight, severity of constipation, and response to therapy. Dosing instructions are provided on the product label and should be followed exactly as directed by the healthcare professional.
Is Laxido safe during pregnancy or breastfeeding?+
Safety data for Laxido in pregnancy and lactation are limited, and the product’s pregnancy category is listed as unknown. Women who are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding should discuss potential risks and benefits with their physician before using this medication.
How do I order Laxido from GNH USA?+
To order Laxido, submit an enquiry on the product page at gnh-usa.com, specifying the required quantity. GNH USA supplies hospitals, pharmacies and procurement teams worldwide, verifies trade or institutional credentials, and then provides pricing, availability, shipping details and any necessary import documentation.
How does Laxido compare with other laxatives?+
Compared with stimulant laxatives, Laxido (macrogol 3350) works by osmotic water retention rather than stimulating intestinal muscles, resulting in a gentler, more physiological effect and a lower incidence of cramping. It is also preferred over bulk‑forming agents for patients who need rapid stool softening.
How should Laxido be stored and handled?+
Laxido should be stored at ambient temperature, below 25 °C, in its original container. Keep the solution away from moisture, direct sunlight and extreme heat. Ensure the bottle is tightly closed after each use to maintain product stability.
How is Laxido administered?+
Laxido is supplied as an oral solution. The prescribed volume is measured with a calibrated dosing device and taken orally, usually once daily or as directed by the prescriber. It can be mixed with a small amount of water or a clear fluid if preferred, but should be consumed promptly.
What are the most serious risks associated with Laxido?+
Serious risks, although rare, include severe electrolyte imbalance, marked dehydration, and allergic reactions such as rash or angioedema. Patients should seek immediate medical attention if they experience symptoms like rapid heartbeat, muscle weakness, severe abdominal pain, or signs of an allergic response.
Who should not use Laxido?+
Laxido should be avoided in individuals with known hypersensitivity to macrogol or any of its excipients, in patients with intestinal obstruction, perforation, or severe inflammatory bowel disease, and in those for whom electrolyte disturbances would pose a significant risk. Consultation with a healthcare professional is essential before use.
