Microlax

Sodium citrate, the active ingredient in Microlax, is a laxative presented as an enema for rectal use. It works together with sorbitol and sodium lauryl sulfoacetate to relieve constipation, fecal impaction and to cleanse the bowel before diagnostic procedures. GNH USA supplies Microlax as a licensed, GDP‑compliant international pharmaceutical supplier serving hospitals, pharmacies and clinics worldwide.

Microlax is a rectal laxative used to treat conditions affecting bowel evacuation. - Constipation: provides rapid softening of stool and facilitates evacuation. - Fecal impaction: helps relieve impacted stool in the rectum. - Bowel cleansing prior to diagnostic procedures: clears the rectum to improve visibility during examinations such as colonoscopy.

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

Common Side Effects: - Mild abdominal cramping - Rectal irritation or burning sensation - Transient diarrhea - Mild nausea - Slight rectal discharge - Temporary urgency to defecate

Serious or Rare Side Effects: - Severe abdominal pain - Rectal bleeding - Allergic reaction (rash, swelling, difficulty breathing) - Electrolyte imbalance with excessive use - Persistent rectal ulceration - Severe dehydration

Use Microlax only as directed and consider the following safety measures. - Follow label instructions: use the recommended amount for each administration. - Avoid in intestinal obstruction: contraindicated if a blockage is present. - Check for allergies: do not use if hypersensitive to any component. - Caution in pregnancy and breastfeeding: safety not established, consult a healthcare professional. - Keep out of reach of children: store securely to prevent accidental ingestion. - Store at room temperature: keep in the original packaging, protect from moisture and direct sunlight.

Microlax can interact with other agents that affect fluid or electrolyte balance.

Major Interactions (Avoid): - Oral electrolyte solutions: concurrent use may cause significant electrolyte disturbances. - Other laxatives or enemas: risk of severe dehydration and electrolyte loss. - Antidiarrheal agents (e.g., loperamide): may reduce the intended laxative effect.

Moderate Interactions (Monitor Closely): - Diuretics: monitor electrolyte levels and hydration status. - Oral anticoagulants: rectal irritation could increase bleeding risk; observe for signs of bleeding.
