Microlax is a fast-acting micro-enema which works to soften bowel motions and gently assist bowel emptying without irritating the lining of the bowel. Microlax may be used to relieve pain and discomfort caused by constipation or to help open the bowels. Microlax can also be used in preparation for examination of the rectum (back passage). Microlax can be used for a short period of time, however, it is not intended for long-term use. If you are constipated every day over a period of time, consult a doctor or medical professional.
