Ispaghula Husk + Lactitol
Description:
Softovac SF Powder is a combination laxative that contains ispaghula husk and lactitol. Ispaghula husk is a bulk-forming fiber that absorbs water in the intestines, increasing stool volume and promoting bowel movements. Lactitol is an osmotic laxative, a synthetic disaccharide that is not absorbed in the small intestine. In the colon, it is fermented by bacteria to produce short-chain fatty acids, which increase osmotic pressure, drawing water into the colon and softening the stool.
This dual action provides a more comprehensive approach to relieving constipation by increasing stool bulk and softening it.
Softovac SF Powder is taken orally, mixed with water or another suitable liquid, and consumed immediately, followed by additional fluids. The dosage depends on the individual’s condition and response. Common side effects may include bloating, gas, and abdominal discomfort, particularly at the start of treatment. As with ispaghula husk alone, it is important to maintain adequate fluid intake while using Softovac SF Powder to ensure its effectiveness and prevent potential issues. It is often used for chronic constipation and may take a few days to produce its full effect.
