Description:
Sphinlax is a triple-action laxative formulation that provides gentle, effective, and fast relief from
constipation.
• Sodium Picosulfate is a stimulant laxative that increases bowel movements by acting on the
intestinal walls.
• Milk of Magnesia (Magnesium Hydroxide) acts as an osmotic laxative, drawing water into
the intestines to soften stools.
• Liquid Paraffin lubricates the bowel and helps stool pass more easily.
Together, they offer balanced relief from occasional or chronic constipation without causing
cramps or harsh effects.
