Laxicab

Description

Polyethylene Glycol, Sodium Chloride, Sodium Hydrogen Carbonate & Potassium Chloride Concentrate for Oral Solution – Laxicab oral solution is the combination of the drugs named Polyethylene Glycol, Sodium Chloride, Sodium Bicarbonate, and Potassium Chloride that is used to treat constipation.

• Potassium chloride helps increase the amount of potassium in your blood. Sodium chloride is a clean salt solution that helps restore salt and electrolyte levels in the body.
• Sodium bicarbonate is a substance that makes things less acidic. It works by raising the pH levels in the blood and urine, which helps fix metabolic acidosis. It also helps the body get rid of harmful substances faster in some poisoning cases. If you lose too much fluid, it helps replace salt and electrolytes.
• Polyethylene glycol helps by pulling water into the intestine, which makes the stool softer and easier to pass. It also helps clean the intestines before medical tests or procedures.
