Option+ Castor Oil 100ml

Option+ Castor Oil 100ml is an over-the-counter laxative designed to relieve occasional constipation. 

Active Ingredient:

• Castor Oil (100%): Castor oil acts as a stimulant laxative. It works by drawing water into your intestines, which helps soften stool and promote bowel movements.

Benefits:

• Fast-Acting Relief: Can provide relief from constipation within 6-12 hours.
• Easy to Use: Liquid form allows for easy ingestion with juice or water.

Things to Consider:

• Read the Label Carefully: Follow the dosage instructions on the label precisely based on your age. Generally, adults take 1-4 tablespoons, while children 12 and over take 1-2 tablespoons.
• Not for Everyone: Consult a doctor before using Option+ Castor Oil if you have certain medical conditions (appendicitis, undiagnosed abdominal pain, dehydration, electrolyte imbalance), are pregnant or breastfeeding, or are taking other medications.
• Potential Side Effects: Castor oil can cause side effects like cramping, abdominal discomfort, nausea, and diarrhea.
• Habit-Forming: Avoid using castor oil for extended periods as it can become habit-forming.
• Not a Long-Term Solution: Castor oil is meant for occasional relief and doesn't address the underlying cause of constipation.

Alternatives:

• Dietary Changes: Increasing fiber intake through fruits, vegetables, and whole grains can help regulate bowel movements.
• Hydration: Drinking plenty of fluids throughout the day can help soften stool and prevent constipation.
• Exercise: Regular physical activity can stimulate your digestive system and promote bowel movements.
• Over-the-Counter Stool Softeners: These medications work by softening stool for easier passage.
• Lifestyle Changes: Managing stress and establishing a regular bathroom routine can also improve bowel regularity.
