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

Use of the device is not recommended in cases of intestinal perforation or obstruction due to structural or functional disorders of the intestinal wall, ileum, or severe inflammatory diseases of the intestinal tract, such as Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis, and toxic megacolon. Known hypersensitivity to macrogol (polyethylene glycol). Do not use if you have known gastric or intestinal lesions.
