Descriptive sheet LUBRIMIL
Description
Medical device useful for the treatment of chronic or acute constipation or irritable bowel syndrome associated with constipation. Useful for counteracting excessive gastrointestinal gas production.
It works by softening the stool and promoting regularization of intestinal function and motility through a combination of osmotic effects.
Macrogol 3350, thanks to its affinity for water, helps absorb water present in the lumen, increasing fecal volume, making the stool softer and easier to expel without causing cramps, abdominal pain, or emergency conditions.
The water-soluble fiber in psyllium creates a gel that hydrates the stool.
Thanks to this ability, psyllium promotes regular intestinal function by stimulating peristalsis, reducing intestinal transit time, and aiding evacuation. The formulation's anti-foaming effect, simethicone, is effective in absorbing gastrointestinal gas associated with constipation.
Ingredients
Macrogol 3350, psyllium, simethicone; excipients: citric acid, sucralose, acesulfame K, flavorings (orange and safflower), silicon dioxide, sodium bicarbonate, sunflower lecithin.
How to use
Children aged 6 to 12 years: 1 sachet per day.
Adults and children over 12 years: 2 sachets per day.
Before using the product in children, it is advisable to seek the advice of a doctor.
Dissolve each sachet well in a full glass of water and drink immediately.
Because psyllium has the ability to form a gel, the product should be taken between meals with an adequate amount of water (at least a full glass of water, two glasses, if possible), to prevent it from swelling in the throat and causing choking.
It is recommended to drink at least 2 liters of water a day for adults, and at least 1-1.5 liters a day for children and adolescents. If the condition persists after taking the product, consult your doctor.
Warnings
Do not take Lubrimil if you have:
- intestinal obstruction or stenosis;
- intestinal perforation;
- inflammatory bowel disease (e.g. Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis).
There is no experience with its use during pregnancy and breastfeeding, so it is recommended to take Lubrimil only on medical advice.
In patients with renal impairment, no dosage adjustment is necessary.
Use the product until symptoms resolve. Repeated use may be necessary for refractory or chronic constipation.
This type of constipation can be caused by painkillers (opioids) and medications used to treat Parkinson's disease (anticholinergics), or it may occur in conditions such as multiple sclerosis or Parkinson's disease. In these cases, do not take Lubrimil for more than 30 consecutive days. If symptoms persist, consult your doctor.
Do not use this product for children under 6 years of age. Consult your doctor before using this product on children. Keep out of reach of children. Do not use after the expiration date printed on the box.
Do not use if you are allergic to the product. Do not use if you have a known hypersensitivity to the components or polyethylene glycol. Each sachet is for single use only and should be opened only immediately before use. Simethicone may interfere with the effectiveness of some diagnostic reagents, such as guaiac gum.
