PEGinpol
Description
A powdered medical device for extemporaneous oral suspension useful in the treatment of constipation. It is particularly indicated for chronic constipation and cases of occasional irregular bowel movements.
PEGinpol is a medical device with laxative action that, through osmotic action, naturally regulates bowel movements. Thanks to its affinity for water, PEGinpol softens stool, facilitating evacuation without causing cramps, abdominal pain, or urgency. It is neither absorbed nor fermented in the intestine, does not irritate the mucosa, and is eliminated unchanged in the stool. Its effectiveness does not decline over time.
Ingredients
Macrogol 3350; excipients: silicon dioxide, flavouring, sodium saccharin.
It does not contain gluten or lactose .
