Laxative

Eva Q Fibre
Description
Constipation is common problem affecting 60% to 80% of patients in geriatric hospitals or nursing homes. It is also a common complaint among pregnant women with an estimated prevalence of 11 to 31 %. EVA Q FIBRE is a unique combination of Ispaghula husk which is a bulk laxative and Lactitol monohydrate which is an osmotic laxative.

Ispaghula husk is a natural substance obtained from plantago ovata. It absorbs water, distends the colon and increases peristalsis. Lactitol is a non-digestible disaccharide which makes the stool softer by increasing the stool water content and stool volume and thus stimulates the peristalsis.

Both laxatives in EVA Q FIBRE exert laxative effect through different mechanism of action and hence the combination has an additive therapeutic effect in constipation.
