Description
OsmoLax Relief is an osmotic laxative designed to effectively manage constipation in both adults and children aged 4 years and older. Its active ingredient, Macrogol 3350, works by increasing the water content in the stool, which helps to soften and hydrate it. This mechanism facilitates more comfortable and controlled bowel movements, typically resulting in relief within 1 to 3 days.
