Characteristics
CE medical device. Macrogol is a high molecular weight, water-soluble inert polymer that has the ability to bind to the water used for intake, retaining it in the feces. It determines a rehydration and softening of the fecal mass and facilitates its evacuation. It accelerates intestinal transit by promoting peristalsis. It is not absorbed or metabolized in the gastrointestinal tract and does not lead to hydro-electrolytic imbalances, if taken with the indicated dose of liquid.
Warnings
Keep out of the reach and sight of children.
Administration in children must be carried out under the direct supervision of an adult.
Do not use if package is opened or damaged.
There is insufficient information regarding the use of SaniPeg during pregnancy or breastfeeding, therefore its use in these circumstances should be done exclusively under medical supervision.
The product can reduce the residence time in the intestine and therefore the absorption of oral medicines.
It is therefore advisable to consult your doctor if you are taking oral medications at the same time, which must in any case be administered at least 2 hours apart.
In case of adverse reactions, discontinue treatment and consult your doctor.
Contraindications
Do not take SaniPeg if you have:
- known hypersensitivity to one or more components.
- Intestinal perforation, obstruction or stenosis.
- Paralytic ileus.
- Severe inflammatory bowel disease (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 may occur (stomach ache, flatulence, abdominal swelling, nausea and fecal incontinence). Diarrhea is a secondary effect of taking excessive doses of SANIPEG and can be avoided by reducing the dose.

If this occurs, discontinue treatment and consult your doctor.
