NORMALENE MACROGOL 4000 20 ENVELOPES

Description
Medical device.
Symptomatic treatment of constipation. It promotes peristalsis, helping ensure proper bowel movements, thus combating constipation and preventing fecal impaction.
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, promoting peristalsis. It is not absorbed or metabolized in the gastrointestinal tract and does not cause fluid or electrolyte imbalance when taken with the indicated dose of liquid.
Suitable for diabetics.
Sugar free.

How to use
Suitable for adults and children over 12 years of age:
- 1 to 4 sachets per day.
The dose should be increased or decreased, depending on the individual response to treatment, to allow regular evacuation of soft stools.
The maximum dose required does not normally exceed 4 sachets per day.

Dissolve the powder in water or other liquid (125 ml per sachet) and take immediately. It is recommended to take the product in the morning if the minimum dose (1 sachet per day) is required. For larger doses, divide the dose between morning and evening.
If you do not notice any improvement after 7 days of treatment, consult your doctor.

Warnings
Administration in children must be carried out under the direct supervision of an adult.
Consult your doctor before use during pregnancy and breastfeeding.
Do not use after the expiry date shown on the package.
Do not use if package is opened or damaged.
The product may reduce the intestinal residence time and therefore the absorption of oral medications. It is therefore advisable to consult a doctor if taking oral medications at the same time, which should always be administered at least two hours apart.
The product may have a potential interaction when used with starch-based food thickeners. Macrogol counteracts the thickening effect of starch, liquefying preparations that should otherwise remain thick enough to be administered by people with swallowing problems.
In case of adverse reactions, discontinue treatment and consult your doctor.
Keep out of the reach and sight of children.
Do not take if:
- known hypersensitivity to one or more components;
- paralytic ileus;
- intestinal perforation, obstruction or stenosis;
- severe inflammatory bowel diseases (e.g. ulcerative colitis, Crohn's disease, toxic megacolon).
The use of laxatives is contraindicated in cases of acute or unknown abdominal pain, nausea and vomiting, rectal bleeding of unknown origin, and in cases of severe dehydration.
Some gastrointestinal disturbances (stomach ache, flatulence, abdominal swelling, nausea and fecal incontinence) may occur.
Diarrhea is a secondary effect of taking excessive doses of Normalene Macrogol 4000 – 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.
