M-Lax Effervescent Granules is a combination therapy formulated to provide relief from constipation and associated abdominal discomfort. Each sachet contains Ispaghula Husk (3.5 gm) and Mebeverine Hydrochloride (135 mg), delivering both gentle bowel regulation and relief from intestinal spasms. This dual-action formulation is particularly useful for patients suffering from irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), functional constipation, or abdominal bloating.

Ispaghula Husk, a natural bulk-forming laxative, increases stool bulk and promotes regular bowel movements, while Mebeverine Hydrochloride, an antispasmodic agent, relaxes the smooth muscles of the gastrointestinal tract to reduce abdominal pain, cramping, and discomfort. The effervescent granule format ensures rapid dissolution, quick absorption, and easy administration, making it convenient for adult and elderly patients.

Mechanism of Action

The combination in M-Lax works synergistically:

• Ispaghula Husk (Psyllium):

  • A natural soluble fiber that absorbs water in the intestines, increasing stool volume and softness.

  • Stimulates intestinal peristalsis, promoting easier and more regular bowel movements.

  • Helps maintain healthy gut flora and supports overall digestive health.

• Mebeverine Hydrochloride:

  • A direct-acting smooth muscle relaxant that targets the gastrointestinal tract.

  • Reduces spasmodic contractions, relieving abdominal cramps, bloating, and discomfort.

  • Improves overall bowel comfort without affecting normal bowel motility.

This combination provides both symptomatic relief and correction of underlying bowel irregularity, making it highly effective for patients with constipation complicated by intestinal spasms.

Indications

M-Lax Effervescent Granules is indicated for:

• Chronic or functional constipation, including constipation-predominant IBS.

• Abdominal pain, cramping, and bloating associated with irritable bowel syndrome.

• Improvement of bowel regularity in patients with low dietary fiber intake.

• Supportive therapy for individuals requiring gentle and safe bowel regulation.

Dosage and Administration

• The usual recommended dose is 1 sachet daily, dissolved in a glass of water.

• Stir the granules in water until completely dissolved and drink immediately.

• Can be taken before or after meals, preferably at the same time each day for consistent results.

• Adequate hydration should be maintained throughout therapy to enhance the effect of Ispaghula Husk.

• Consult a healthcare provider for long-term use or if symptoms persist.

Precautions

• Not recommended for patients with intestinal obstruction, severe abdominal pain of unknown origin, or hypersensitivity to any components.

• Patients with swallowing difficulties should take care, as Ispaghula Husk absorbs water and expands.

• Monitor for excessive abdominal bloating or discomfort, which may indicate intolerance or underlying conditions.

• May interact with some medications; take other oral medications at least 1–2 hours apart to prevent interference with absorption.

• Pregnant or breastfeeding women should consult a doctor before use.
