Tibetan medicine for constipation.
PADMA LAX is temporarily unavailable.
Tibetan medicine with 12 herbs and 3 minerals can be used short-term (1-2 weeks) or when travelling for acute constipation.
The herbs and minerals support bowel emptying.
Constipation can be caused by insufficient fluid intake, unfavourable or unfamiliar food (when travelling), stress or lack of exercise (bed rest). It is often characterised by hard stools, pain during bowel movements, feelings of tension in the pelvic area and a distended abdomen.
The formula has a mild (1 tablet) to stronger (2 tablets) laxative effect. The effect is delayed, usually after about 8 hours.
PADMA LAX is available in Swiss pharmacies and drugstores in the packaging sizes of 20 tablets without a doctor’s prescription.
We speak of constipation when bowel movements occur less than three times a week and bowel emptying is difficult.

Bitter substances containing from colombo root, condurango rind, gentian root, inula and vomica seeds substances stimulate the production of gastric juices, support digestive processes in the stomach and in the small intestine.
Essential oils from ginger root and Indian long pepper are antispasmodic and work against flatulence (carminative).
Attracts water and acts as an osmotic laxative.
The containing plants (dry extract of Aloe, Buckthorn bark, Cascara rind, and rhubarb root) have a laxative effect, which comes through two mechanisms. On one hand, they affect colon movement (peristalsis), and on the other hand, they stimulate the active secretion of chloride ions in the intestinal lumen, which increases the water in the bowel contents. This leads to faster motility and a softer stool.
Adults take 1-2 pills with plenty of liquid (minimum 1 glass of warm water) before going to bed or 1 hour before breakfast. Children 12 years of age take 1 tablet.
Children under 12 years should be given PADMA LAX only on doctor’s orders.
The laxative effect is mild (1 tablet) to stronger (2 tablets) and has a delayed effect of ca. 8 hours. Therefore, it is recommended to take it in the evening.
Further information can be obtained from your doctor, pharmacist or chemist. These persons have the detailed specialist information at their disposal.
It is generally recommended to keep an interval of 1-2 hours between the intake of different medicines.
