C-Lux drug information
Constipation is a condition in which defecation is difficult and the frequency of defecation is less than normal. Constipation occurs due to poor diet and drinking insufficient amounts of water or delayed defecation. Pregnancy, lack of exercise, and some medications, such as painkillers, can cause constipation. Even constipation can be a side effect of certain medications or illnesses. Although changes in lifestyle and diet (increased fiber intake) can help alleviate constipation, some laxatives, especially herbal laxatives such as C-Lux, are very helpful for people with constipation.
C-Lux is used to relieve constipation caused by poor bowel function. C-Lux herbal medicine is composed of active ingredients of Senna, which has two functions:
Water and electrolytes increase the contents of the intestine.
