Laxido

Sodium Hydrogen Carbonate, Potassium Chloride, Sodium Chloride, Macrogol 3350, the active ingredient in Laxido, is an osmotic laxative presented as an oral powder for solution for oral use. It is used to relieve constipation and to aid bowel cleansing before diagnostic procedures. GNH USA supplies Laxido as a licensed, GDP‑compliant international pharmaceutical supplier serving hospitals, pharmacies and clinics worldwide.

Laxido is an osmotic laxative that works within the gastrointestinal tract to manage constipation and assist bowel preparation. - Chronic constipation: softens stool and increases bowel frequency in adults and children with persistent constipation. - Opioid‑induced constipation: provides effective relief of reduced motility caused by opioid therapy. - Bowel preparation for diagnostic procedures: can be incorporated into a cleansing regimen prior to colonoscopy or similar examinations.

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

Common Side Effects: - Abdominal bloating - Flatulence - Nausea - Abdominal cramps - Diarrhoea - Headache

Serious or Rare Side Effects: - Severe electrolyte imbalance (hyper‑ or hyponatraemia, hyperkalaemia) - Allergic reaction (rash, itching, swelling) - Dehydration - Renal impairment in susceptible patients - Severe abdominal pain - Anaphylaxis

When using Laxido, consider the following safety measures. - Assess renal function: patients with impaired kidneys may accumulate electrolytes. - Monitor electrolytes: especially sodium and potassium during prolonged therapy. - Avoid in intestinal obstruction: risk of perforation or worsening blockage. - Use caution in elderly: increased susceptibility to dehydration and electrolyte shifts. - Store at ambient temperature: keep in the original pack, protect from moisture.

Laxido can interact with other medicines that affect electrolyte balance or renal function.

Major Interactions (Avoid): - Concurrent high‑dose potassium supplements: risk of hyperkalaemia. - Loop diuretics: may increase electrolyte loss. - Other osmotic laxatives: additive effect causing severe diarrhoea.

Moderate Interactions (Monitor Closely): - ACE inhibitors: monitor serum potassium levels. - NSAIDs: watch renal function during combined use.
