About Niyalaks Oral Suspension Mint

Niyalaks Oral Suspension Mint is used to treat constipation associated with piles, anal fissures, hernia, cardiovascular disorders, endoscopy, bowel clearance before radioscopy, pre/post-operative conditions, elderly and bed-ridden patients. Constipation refers to infrequent bowel movements in which the stools are often dry, painful, and hard to pass. 

Niyalaks Oral Suspension Mint contains liquid paraffin (lubricant), Milk Of Magnesia (hyperosmotic laxative), and Sodium picosulphate (stimulant laxative). Liquid paraffin works by lubricating the bowels and softening the stools.

Together, Niyalaks Oral Suspension Mint helps in providing relief from constipation.
