Figolax Sugar Free Syrup is an ayurvedic product that is a natural and safe laxative for treating chronic constipation. (Constipation is a condition whereby the stools become difficult to pass, or stop moving altogether for some time).
It is formulated from the extracts of various medicinal herbs like Sanaya, Amaltas, Revandchini and Anjeer. It significantly improves bowel function by removing blockages in various channels of the body and providing easy evacuation of stool without disturbing the fluid and electrolyte balance and thus cleanses the stomach.
Figolax Sugar Free Syrup is safe for long term use without the risk of producing physiological dependence. It does not contain sugar so it is safe for use even in diabetic patients. It is highly effective in treating constipation and provides instant relief, for pre-radiology (x-ray examination) abdominal preparation (where only empty stomachs need to be scanned) and for enhancing successful outcome of surgical intervention of piles and fissures
Directions for use: 10 ml twice daily with lukewarm water.

Mr. Lybrate-user, it is best to avoid sugar totally for a diabetes patient. Taking sugar substitutes also in not good. Recent studies have shown that all the sugar substitutes are unsafe. They increase craving for sugar, plus also have side effects of their own. So it is always good to avoid them totally.

Hello, Thanks for the query.
Usually if a liquid is labled as "syrup" it does contain sugar. So when one prescribes it to a diabetes patient you have to look at the quantity(mentioned on the lable. Or ask for a sugar free version of the same product which mostly companies have. Thanks.

Hello,
I would advice you to have tea with minimum quantity of sugar (1/2 tsp) in 1 cup (even if you have diabetes) or rather have it sugarless.
Artificial sweeteners are not a healthy choice.

Sugar-free foods may be helpful if you have diabetes. In many cases, they serve as alternatives to conventional sweetened foods that are limited or restricted from your diet.
It is recommended to take proper medical consultation before using any sugar-free products. Your query can be addressed in a more better way if discussed in detail over a call or a video conferencing.
