Each sachet contains macrogol 3350, which works by retaining water in the bowel to soften stools and make them easier to pass. It also contains electrolytes to help maintain the body’s natural fluid balance. Laxido’s pleasant orange flavour makes it easy to take, and it is suitable for short- or long-term use under medical guidance.
