SuspensionClinical Overview
Liquid Paraffin (1.25ml/3.75ml), Milk of Magnesia (3.75ml/11.25ml), and Sodium Picosulphate (3.33mg) Suspension is a triple-action laxative combining a stool lubricant, an osmotic laxative, and a contact stimulant. Liquid paraffin softens and lubricates stools; Milk of Magnesia (magnesium hydroxide) draws water osmotically into the bowel lumen; and sodium picosulphate is activated by colonic sulfatases to stimulate myenteric peristalsis. Indicated for acute and chronic severe constipation, painful anorectal conditions (piles, anal fissures), and post-surgical bowel clearance.

Chlordiazepoxide 5mg + Clidinium Bromide 2.5mg Tablets
Chlordiazepoxide (5mg) and Clidinium Bromide (2.5mg, with or without Dicyclomine 10mg) Tablets is a fixed-dose anxiolytic and anticholinergic combination. Clidinium bromide acts as a synthetic quaternary anticholinergic agent, reducing gastric acid secretion and inhibiting hypermotility and spasm of the gastrointestinal tract. Chlordiazepoxide is a benzodiazepine that modulates GABA-A receptors in the CNS to alleviate emotional tension and visceral hypersensitivity. Indicated for irritable bowel syndrome (spastic colon, mucous colitis) and adjunctive therapy in peptic ulcer disease.
Sodium Picosulphate Tablets 10 mg
Sodium Picosulphate Tablets (10mg) is an oral prodrug stimulant contact laxative on the WHO Model List framework. It passes unabsorbed through the stomach and small intestine to the colon, where bacterial sulfatases hydrolyze it to the active free diphenol metabolite (BHPM). This metabolite stimulates mucosal sensory nerve endings to induce strong colonic propulsive contractions within 6 to 12 hours. Indicated for short-term management of constipation and colon preparation prior to colonoscopy.
