Microlax

Sorbitol, the active ingredient in Microlax, is a laxative presented as a rectal enema solution for rectal use. It creates an osmotic gradient that draws water into the colon, providing rapid relief of occasional constipation and facilitating bowel cleansing before diagnostic procedures.

GNH USA supplies Microlax as a licensed, GDP‑compliant international pharmaceutical supplier serving hospitals, pharmacies and clinics worldwide, ensuring quality and regulatory compliance for global distribution. The company adheres to stringent manufacturing standards and provides reliable logistics support for timely delivery to healthcare providers.

Microlax, a rectal laxative enema, acts on the gastrointestinal tract to relieve constipation and prepare the bowel.

- Occasional constipation: provides rapid evacuation of stool. - Bowel cleansing before diagnostic procedures: clears the colon for procedures such as colonoscopy. - Pre‑operative bowel preparation: assists in clearing the bowel prior to surgery.

Common Side Effects: - Mild abdominal cramping: transient discomfort in the lower abdomen. - Rectal irritation: mild burning or itching at the site of administration. - Urgency to defecate: a strong sensation to evacuate soon after use. - Mild diarrhea: loose stools that resolve quickly.

Serious or Rare Side Effects: - Severe abdominal pain: intense pain requiring medical attention. - Rectal bleeding: presence of blood in stool or after administration. - Allergic reaction: rash, swelling, or difficulty breathing indicating hypersensitivity.
