What is Citro-Mag Laxative-Purgative?
Overview
Citro-Mag, manufactured by Teva, is an oral solution used as a laxative and purgative. This product is specifically formulated to provide relief from occasional constipation and also assists in bowel preparation for certain medical procedures.
Citro-Mag is available in a refreshing lemon/lime flavour for easier consumption.
Key Ingredients
The active ingredient in Citro-Mag is magnesium citrate, a saline laxative. This works by drawing water into the intestines, which softens the stool and stimulates bowel movements.
How Citro-Mag Works
Mechanism of Action
Citro-Mag works by increasing the amount of water in the intestines. This increase in fluid helps to soften and bulk up the stool, making it easier to pass. The increased fluid also stimulates the muscles of the intestines, promoting bowel movements.
Uses and Benefits
Citro-Mag is primarily used for the short-term relief of occasional constipation. It can also be used to cleanse the bowels before medical procedures such as colonoscopies or X-ray examinations.
- Effective relief from constipation
- Prepares the bowel for diagnostic procedures
