AGPEG ESSE 400 G

Description
Medical device indicated for the symptomatic treatment of constipation. It promotes peristalsis, helping ensure proper bowel movement, thus counteracting constipation and preventing fecal impaction. It also facilitates the elimination of intestinal gas, reducing the sensation of bloating and abdominal distension. Agpeg esse is available in powder form for oral solution.
Macrogol is an inert, high-molecular-weight, water-soluble polymer that binds to the water used for ingestion, retaining it in the stool. It rehydrates and softens the stool, facilitating evacuation. It accelerates intestinal transit by promoting peristalsis. It is not absorbed or metabolized in the gastrointestinal tract and does not lead to fluid or electrolyte imbalances when taken with the indicated dose of liquid. Simethicone is a substance that reduces the surface tension of gas bubbles in the gastrointestinal tract, facilitating their expulsion.

Ingredients
Macrogol, silicon dioxide, simethicone, sucralose.

Gluten free.

Warnings
Do not take Agpeg esse if you have a known hypersensitivity to macrogol or any of the other ingredients, intestinal perforation, obstruction, or stenosis, paralytic ileus, or severe inflammatory bowel disease such as Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis, or toxic megacolon. Laxative use is contraindicated in cases of acute or unknown abdominal pain, nausea and vomiting, rectal bleeding of unknown origin, or severe dehydration.
Some gastrointestinal disturbances (stomach ache, flatulence, bloating, nausea, and fecal incontinence) may occur. Diarrhea is a secondary effect of taking excessive doses of Agpeg esse and can be avoided by reducing the dose. Cases of hypersensitivity reactions (skin rash) have been reported rarely following the use of products containing macrogol. If this occurs, discontinue treatment and consult your doctor.
It is recommended that the product be used by children after consulting a doctor. Administration to children must be carried out under the direct supervision of an adult. Consult a doctor before use during pregnancy and breastfeeding. Do not use after the expiration date indicated on the package. Do not use if the package is opened or damaged. Do not exceed the maximum daily dose. Keep the product or the resulting solution out of the reach of children. If no improvement is noted after 7 days of treatment, it is advisable to consult a doctor. The product may reduce the residence time in the intestine and therefore the absorption of oral medications. Therefore, it is advisable to consult a doctor if taking oral medications at the same time, which should in any case be administered at least 2 hours apart. If you experience any adverse reactions, even if different from those listed, discontinue treatment and consult your doctor.
