Micralax 5 ml, 12 Microenemas

It is a medicine that can be used without a prescription, in enema format for rectal use that acts as a laxative thanks to the action of sodium citrate, which retains liquid in the intestine, increasing the volume of water in the faeces, and sodium lauryl sulphoacetate, an active ingredient with moisturising properties. Also known as constipation tablets.

It comes in a pack containing 12 micro-enemas.

This constipation remedy is intended for use by adults and adolescents over 12 years of age seeking relief from the symptoms of occasional constipation.
