Description
Constipation
Description
Medical device with laxative action that, through an osmotic action, regulates the intestine in a natural way. It is not absorbed or fermented in the intestine, does not irritate the mucosa and is eliminated in the feces in an unchanged form. It is particularly indicated in chronic constipation and in cases of occasionally irregular intestine. In fact, thanks to its affinity for water, it softens the feces facilitating evacuation without causing cramps or abdominal pain, or conditions of urgency. Its effectiveness does not decrease over time.
Ingredients
Macrogol 3350; excipients: silicon dioxide, flavouring, sodium saccharin.
