## Description

The active ingredient in OsmoLax is called Macrogol 3350, the ‘gold standard’ for the treatment of constipation, especially in children. In fact, macrogol containing laxatives are the most prescribed type of laxative by Australian doctors. OsmoLax restores the body’s natural rhythm. It is virtually unabsorbed, so it remains in the bowel and directs water into the stool. This lubricates and softens, as well as bulks the stool which stimulates the urge to go to the toilet. The result is a natural and comfortable bowel movement.
## Ingredients

Macrogol 3350
## Directions for Use

Adults and children over 12 years: One level 17g measuring scoop mixed with 1 cup (approximately 240ml) of liquid once daily. This can be increased to a maximum of 2 doses of 17g daily, dependent on the severity of your constipation. For chronic constipation, the dose may be reduced to one 8.5g scoop mixed with ½ cup (approximately 120ml) of liquid daily, according to individual response.

For children aged 6 to 12 years: The usual starting dose is two level 8.5g measuring scoops (or one 17g scoop), mixed with 1 cup (approximately 240ml) of liquid once daily. The dose should be adjusted up or down as required to produce regular soft stools. The maximum dose should not exceed three 8.5g scoops (equivalent to 25.5g) daily.
