Laxisoft is indicated for:
Pharmacology
This is a multi-herbal laxative powder made from Ishobgul (Plantago ovata), Senna (Cassia angustifolia), Haritaki (Terminalia chebula), Sonali (Cassia fistula), Josthimodhu (Glycyrrhiza glabra) and Mouri (Foeniculum vulgare). The bulk-forming action of Ishobgul and the stimulant effect of Senna work together to help bowel movements pass smoothly, while Haritaki and Sonali support intestinal motility and stool consistency. Josthimodhu and Mouri soothe the mucosa and support digestion. The powder relieves constipation, promotes regular bowel function and supports digestive comfort. It combines bulk-forming and stimulant actions with supporting demulcent and carminative agents. Ishobgul provides mucilage that absorbs water in the intestine, which increases stool bulk and softness and makes evacuation easier (the bulk-forming mechanism). Senna supplies hydroxyanthracene glycosides (sennosides), which act on the colonic mucosa to increase peristaltic activity and normalize bowel transit (the stimulant mechanism). Haritaki and Sonali add mild laxative and intestinal tonic effects that support regular motility and stool consistency. Josthimodhu has demulcent and mucosal-soothing effects and helps reduce irritation of the gastric and intestinal lining. Mouri works as a carminative and digestive adjunct, reducing bloating and promoting comfortable intestinal passage.

Cautions & Contraindications
Warnings & Precautions
Ishobgul can slow down the absorption of medicines taken by mouth, so take it at least 1 to 2 hours before or after any other medicine. Senna, if used for a long time, can upset the body's electrolytes, especially causing low potassium (hypokalemia). This can get worse in patients who are on diuretics, corticosteroids or cardiac glycosides. Josthimodhu may raise blood pressure and lower potassium levels. People with hypertension, renal impairment or electrolyte disturbances should therefore use it with caution. Anyone with a gastrointestinal obstruction, severe abdominal pain of unknown cause or chronic constipation should avoid these products unless a physician has directed their use.
