Molaxole

Sodium Hydrogen Carbonate, the active ingredient in Molaxole, is an osmotic laxative presented as an oral powder for oral use. It is combined with potassium chloride, sodium chloride and macrogol 3350 to facilitate bowel cleansing and relieve constipation in adult patients.

GNH USA supplies Molaxole as a licensed, GDP‑compliant international pharmaceutical supplier serving hospitals, pharmacies and clinics worldwide, ensuring quality and regulatory compliance across markets.

Molaxole is used as an osmotic laxative for bowel preparation and constipation management.

- Colonoscopy preparation: clears the colon to improve visualization during the procedure. - Chronic constipation: softens stool and promotes regular bowel movements. - Electrolyte balance support: provides potassium and sodium ions to replace losses during bowel cleansing.

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

Common Side Effects: - Nausea: mild to moderate feeling of sickness. - Abdominal bloating: sensation of fullness or swelling. - Flatulence: increased intestinal gas. - Diarrhea: loose, watery stools. - Electrolyte imbalance: mild changes in sodium or potassium levels. - Headache: occasional mild headache.

Serious or Rare Side Effects: - Severe dehydration: marked loss of body fluids. - Significant electrolyte disturbances: hypernatremia or hypokalemia. - Allergic reaction: rash, itching, or swelling. - Acute renal impairment: sudden decrease in kidney function. - Severe abdominal pain: persistent or worsening pain. - Syncope: fainting episodes.

Before using Molaxole, consider the following safety measures.

- Assess renal function: avoid in severe renal impairment. - Monitor electrolytes: check serum sodium and potassium levels in at-risk patients. - Evaluate gastrointestinal obstruction: contraindicated if obstruction is suspected. - Use with caution in the elderly: increased risk of dehydration. - Review concomitant laxatives: avoid simultaneous use of other osmotic agents. - Store at ambient temperature: keep below 25°C, in the original packaging, protected from moisture.

Molaxole can interact with other medicines that affect fluid or electrolyte balance.

Major Interactions (Avoid): - Loop diuretics: may exacerbate electrolyte loss. - ACE inhibitors or ARBs: increased risk of hyperkalemia. - Sodium‑containing medications: can cause excessive sodium load.

Moderate Interactions (Monitor Closely): - Antacids containing magnesium or aluminum: may alter absorption. - Other laxatives or stool softeners: additive effect on bowel motility. - Antihypertensives: monitor blood pressure due to potential volume shifts.
