Patients may explore substitutes in the following scenarios:
Before you switch from Trulax Plus Liquid to another medicine, here are some important points to keep in mind:
Same salt, different brands:
Most substitutes contain the same active ingredient - LIQUID PARAFFIN-1.25ML + MILK OF MAGNESIA-3.75ML + SODIUM PICOSULFATE-3.33MG, but the fillers, coating, or manufacturing quality may vary slightly.
Consult your doctor first:
Even if the salt is the same, your doctor can confirm if the substitute is right for your condition, dosage, and health history.
Watch out for allergies or reactions:
Some people may react differently to certain brands due to inactive ingredients. If you notice any side effects, inform your doctor immediately.
Price ≠ effectiveness:
A lower-priced substitute doesn't mean it's less effective. Many generic medicines work just as well as branded ones.
Check the dosage form and strength:
Always match the substitute’s strength (e.g., 5mg, 10mg) and form (tablet, capsule, syrup) with what your doctor prescribed.

Trulax Plus Liquid is a combination of three drugs: Sodium picosulfate (stimulant laxative), Milk of magnesia (osmotic laxative), and liquid paraffin (lubricant). Sodium picosulfate works by preventing water absorption in the colonic lumen and stimulating the colon's propulsive activity, thereby promoting water accumulation. Milk of magnesia works by increasing the osmotic gradient in the gut by drawing the water into the intestine, thereby helps in bowel evacuation. Liquid paraffin works by lubricating the bowels and softens the stools. Together, Trulax Plus Liquid helps in providing relief from constipation.
