Lubilax Capsule 8 mcg contains Lubiprostone, a chloride channel activator used to treat certain types of chronic constipation. It is particularly effective in managing chronic idiopathic constipation (CIC) and constipation-predominant irritable bowel syndrome (IBS-C), especially in adult patients. Lubilax works by increasing intestinal fluid secretion, making stool softer and easier to pass, thereby improving bowel movement frequency and reducing discomfort.
