Qulax 5mg Oral Suspension belongs to the group of medicines called laxatives 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, characterised by stools that are often dry, painful, and difficult to pass.

Qulax 5mg Oral Suspension contains Sodium picosulfate, which prevents the absorption of water in the colon and intestine, thereby stimulating propulsive (pushing forward) activity. This, in turn, promotes the accumulation of water, allowing the stool to pass with ease. Thus, it relieves constipation.
