DETAILS
|
| COMPOSITION |
Each 5 ml contains:
Milk of Magnesia IP 3.75 ml, Liquid Paraffin IP 1.25 ml,
Sodium Picosulfate BP 3.33 mg |
| INDICATIONS |
Short term treatment of constipation associated with Piles, Anal Fissure, Cardiovascular disorder, Hernia, Pre and Post operative condition, Endoscopy, elderly and bed ridden patients and also for bowel clearance before radioscopy. |
| MODE of ACTION |
MOM Plus contains Milk of Magnesia which increases the osmotic gradient in the gut and stimulates peristalsis resulting in efficient bowel evacuation. Sodium picosulphate in MOM Plus is converted into the active compound bis-(p-hydroxy diphenyl )-pyridil methane (BHPM) in colon which stimulates the propulsive activity of the colon, prevents absorption of water in the colonic lumen and thus promotes accumulation of water. Liquid paraffin in MOM Plus lubricates bowel and softens the stools. |
| ADVERSE EFFECT |
Prolonged use or overdose of Sodium Picosulfate can precipitate the onset of an atonic non functional colon and hypokalemia. Liquid Paraffin may cause aspiration pneumonia, perianal pruritus and interfere with post-operative healing following anorectal surgery. Repeated use may interfere with the absorption of essential fat-soluble substance and may cause deficiency of vitamin A, D and K. Small amount of Magnesium gets absorbed in the circulation and may cause occasional toxicity particularly in presence of kidney damage. Excessive bowel activity (gripping, diarrhoea, nausea, vomiting ), perianal irritation, weakness, dizziness, fainting, palpitation, sweating, bloating, flatulence, abdominal cramps may occur. |
| CONTRAINDICATION |
Hypersensitivity to any ingredient; nausea, vomiting or other symptoms of appendicitis, acute abdominal surgery, intestinal obstruction, undiagnosed abdominal pain, pregnancy and lactation. |
| DRUG INTERACTIONS |
Laxatives containing Magnesium salt impair absorption of Tetracycline. Since Sodium Picosulfate increases the rate of gastrointestinal transit, it may affect the absorption of other orally administered drugs which are given concomitantly. |
| DOSES |
As directed by physician. Should be taken with adequate water. |
| PACKING |
