AGIOLAX

Algiolax is a recognised brand of laxatives, specialising in the treatment of occasional constipation and easing bowel transit. It is known for offering a gentle but effective solution for people experiencing difficulty passing stools, especially those seeking temporary relief in a safe way. The Algiolax formula is designed to stimulate bowel movements and promote the elimination of stool without causing irritation or severe discomfort.

Agiolax laxative: mechanism of action

Algiolax acts by two complementary mechanisms. The sennosides present in the drug stimulate the walls of the intestine, promoting natural contractions that facilitate the movement of faeces towards the rectum, resulting in a bowel movement. On the other hand, Plantago ovata absorbs water and forms a gelatinous mass, softening the stool, which contributes to a smoother and more effortless evacuation.

This dual approach allows Algiolax not only to stimulate the bowel, but also to provide natural stool softening, making it a preferred choice for people with occasional or mild chronic constipation.

Agiolax how to take

The dosage of Algiolax varies depending on the presentation and severity of constipation. However, the common dose for adults is 1 or 2 tablets before bedtime, to take effect upon waking, or one sachet dissolved in water. The effect usually occurs 6 to 12 hours after administration, allowing a bowel movement the following day.
