Indications & Clinical Uses

Laxido Paediatric Plain is an osmotic laxative used to manage pediatric constipation and related bowel disorders.

  • Constipation: softens stool and promotes regular bowel movements in children.
  • Functional constipation: assists in establishing normal bowel habits.
  • Encopresis secondary to constipation: facilitates stool passage to reduce leakage.
  • Chronic constipation: provides long‑term relief by maintaining intestinal hydration.

How It Works

  • Macrogol 3350 creates an osmotic gradient in the intestinal lumen, drawing water into the bowel. The added sodium hydrogen carbonate, potassium chloride, and sodium chloride help maintain electrolyte balance while the increased fluid softens stool, enhancing peristalsis and facilitating easier evacuation.

Side Effects

Laxido Paediatric Plain may cause a range of adverse reactions.

Common Side Effects

  • Abdominal bloating: feeling of fullness or swelling in the abdomen.
  • Flatulence: increased intestinal gas.
  • Nausea: mild to moderate sensation of wanting to vomit.
  • Diarrhoea: loose, watery stools.
  • Abdominal cramps: intermittent pain in the stomach area.
  • Headache: mild to moderate head discomfort.

Serious or Rare Side Effects

  • Electrolyte imbalance: abnormal levels of sodium, potassium, or chloride.
  • Severe dehydration: marked loss of body fluids.
  • Allergic reaction: rash, itching, swelling, or difficulty breathing.
  • Severe abdominal pain: intense, persistent stomach pain.
  • Rectal bleeding: presence of blood in stool.

Precautions & Warnings

Before using Laxido Paediatric Plain, consider the following safety measures.

  • Hydration assessment: ensure adequate fluid intake to prevent dehydration.
  • Electrolyte monitoring: check serum electrolytes in prolonged use.
  • Medical supervision: use under the guidance of a healthcare professional.
  • Renal impairment: adjust use in patients with kidney dysfunction.
  • Hypersensitivity: avoid if known allergy to any component.
  • Store at ambient temperature: keep in the original pack, protect from moisture.

Avoid Interactions

Laxido Paediatric Plain can interact with other medicines; awareness of these interactions helps maintain safety.

Major Interactions (Avoid)

  • Other osmotic laxatives: increased risk of electrolyte disturbances.
  • Loop diuretics: may exacerbate potassium loss.
  • Mineral oil: can reduce absorption of the laxative.

Moderate Interactions (Monitor Closely)

  • Antacids containing sodium bicarbonate: may alter osmotic activity.
  • NSAIDs: potential additive renal stress.
  • Oral rehydration solutions: monitor for electrolyte shifts.

Frequently Asked Questions

Laxido Paediatric Plain is an oral osmotic laxative indicated for the relief of constipation in children. It works by increasing water content in the intestines, softening stool and promoting regular bowel movements.

Macrogol 3350 acts as an osmotic agent that draws water into the intestinal lumen. The added electrolytes (sodium hydrogen carbonate, potassium chloride, sodium chloride) help maintain a balanced electrolyte environment while the increased fluid softens stool and facilitates evacuation.

The dose of Laxido Paediatric Plain is individualized and set by the prescribing healthcare professional based on the child’s age, weight, and clinical condition. No fixed dosing regimen is provided here.

Safety in pregnancy and lactation has not been definitively established for this pediatric formulation. Use only if clearly needed and after consultation with a qualified healthcare provider.

To place an order, submit an enquiry on the product page at gnhindia.com, specifying the required quantity. GNH India works with hospitals, pharmacies and procurement teams worldwide, verifies trade or institutional credentials, and then provides pricing, availability, shipping details and any necessary import documentation.

Compared with stimulant laxatives, Laxido Paediatric Plain provides a gentler, osmotic mechanism that is less likely to cause cramping. It also includes electrolytes, which can help maintain balance, whereas some alternatives may lack this feature.

Store the product at ambient temperature, below 25 °C, in its original packaging. Protect it from moisture and direct sunlight to preserve stability.

The product is supplied as a powder that is reconstituted with water to form an oral suspension. It is taken by mouth as directed by the prescriber, usually with a measured dose using a calibrated device.

Serious risks include electrolyte imbalance, severe dehydration, allergic reactions, and, rarely, rectal bleeding. Prompt medical attention is required if any of these symptoms occur.

Children with known hypersensitivity to macrogol 3350 or any of the listed electrolytes, those with intestinal obstruction, severe renal impairment, or uncontrolled electrolyte disorders should avoid using this product.
