Mom Plus Suspension is used to treat constipation, particularly in cases associated with conditions such as piles, anal fissures, hernia, cardiovascular disorders, endoscopy, bowel clearance before radiology, pre/post-operative conditions, and among elderly or bed-ridden patients. Constipation is characterized by infrequent, dry, painful, and hard-to-pass stools.
Ingredients and Action:
Liquid Paraffin: Lubricates the bowels and softens the stools.
Milk of Magnesia: Increases the osmotic gradient in the gut by drawing water into the intestines, aiding in bowel evacuation.
Sodium Picosulphate: Prevents water absorption in the colon and stimulates the colon's activity, promoting water accumulation.
Together, these ingredients help relieve constipation.
Usage:
Take Mom Plus Suspension for the duration prescribed by your doctor, based on your medical condition.
Common side effects may include diarrhea, abdominal discomfort, pain, or cramps. These usually resolve on their own but consult your doctor if they persist.
Precautions:
Drink plenty of fluids (at least 6-8 glasses) to prevent dehydration.
Avoid using Mom Plus Suspension for more than a week to prevent dependency.
Consult your doctor if you notice any significant changes in bowel habits lasting over 2 weeks.
Consult your doctor before using this suspension if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.
Mom Plus Suspension should not be given to children, as its safety and effectiveness in this age group have not been established.
