Medicinal Benefits

Colofinn Plus 1.25/3.75/3.33 Sugar Free Suspension 200 ml belongs to the group of medicines called laxatives used to treat constipation associated with piles, anal fissure, hernia, cardiovascular disorder, endoscopy, bowel clearance before radioscopy, pre/post-operative conditions, elderly and bed-ridden patients.
