BABYLAX Enema, 6 pcs

What is Babylax and what is it used for?

Babylax is a laxative used for the symptomatic treatment of constipation and constipation in infants and children of all ages.It is particularly useful when changing your diet or dietary measures alone have no effect.The active ingredient glycerol 85% stimulates mucus production after introduction into the rectum, thereby increasing the gliding properties of the stool.It also causes increased water absorption in the intestines, which leads to softening of the stool and an increase in volume, which reflexively results in defecation.

Areas of application

Babylax is used for the symptomatic treatment of constipation and intestinal constipation in infants and children of all ages, especially when other measures such as dietary changes or diet alone are not sufficient.

Dosage and application
