Jamieson Laxative Laxaco 60 Capsules
Product Details
Jamieson Laxaco Capsules - Product Description
Jamieson Laxaco Capsules are derived from anthraquinone derivatives such as senna and are stimulant laxatives. Stimulant laxatives work by irritating the sensory nerve endings in the intestines, thereby stimulating colon movement and reducing water absorption from the colon.
Medical Uses of Jamieson Laxaco Capsules:
Constipation is generally defined as having bowel movements less than three times per week. While constipation is a very common condition, some individuals suffer from chronic constipation which can interfere with their ability to perform daily tasks. Chronic constipation may also lead individuals to strain excessively during bowel movements.
