Freelife Syrup

Freelife Syrup is categorized under the gastro-intestinal therapeutic class, designed as a laxative medication. The active ingredient in this oral solution is Sodium Picosulfate, with each 5 ml of the syrup containing 5 mg of Sodium Picosulfate. This medication is formulated as a 100 ml oral solution. Sodium Picosulfate is a stimulant laxative that works by stimulating the muscles in the bowel, helping to relieve constipation.

Freelife Syrup (Sodium Picosulfate 5mg per 5ml) is primarily indicated for the treatment of constipation. It is effective in providing relief from bowel irregularity and is often used for short-term relief. Additionally, Sodium Picosulfate may be used as a bowel preparation before certain medical procedures or examinations that require a clear bowel, such as colonoscopy.

The dosage of Freelife Syrup should be tailored to the individual patient, depending on the severity of constipation, age, and response to the medication. For adults and children over the age of 10, the usual initial dose is 5-10 mg (5-10 ml of syrup) daily. For children aged 4-10 years, the dose is typically lower and should be specifically prescribed by a healthcare provider.

The syrup should be taken at bedtime to produce a bowel movement the following morning. It is important to drink plenty of fluids while taking this medication. The patient should not take the medication for more than a week without consulting a healthcare provider, as prolonged use can lead to dependency or loss of bowel function.

Patients should be advised that Freelife Syrup is not intended for long-term use and should be used as directed by a healthcare provider. Any changes in bowel habits, especially if they persist, should be evaluated by a healthcare professional. Patients with specific medical conditions such as inflammatory bowel diseases or severe dehydration should consult a doctor before using this medication.
