Conlax 5 Suppository
Product introduction
Conlax 5 Suppository is a prescription medicine used in the treatment of constipation. It works by increasing movement in the intestine and helps in emptying the bowels. Sometimes it may also be used by hospitals before surgery, or for some internal examinations or treatments.
Conlax 5 Suppository is used in the back passage (rectum) and must not be taken by mouth. Use this medicine at bedtime in a dose as advised by your doctor. This medicine, when used with some lifestyle modifications like eating a fiber-rich diet, increased fluid intake, and regular exercise, can help you get better results.
This medicine may cause side effects like abdominal cramps or pain, diarrhea, and rectal irritation or inflammation. These effects are usually temporary and resolve on their own. However, if you experience any severe or persistent symptoms, consult your doctor.
Remember to inform the doctor if you have a history of stomach disorders such as appendicitis or a blockage in your bowel. Keep it where children cannot reach it. Pregnant or breastfeeding women should consult a doctor before using it.
