How does the active ingredient of the medicine work?

After being introduced into the rectum, the active ingredient stimulates the production of mucus in the bowel, which increases the lubricity of the stool. It also causes increased absorption of water into the intestine and thus both the softening of the stool and an increase in volume, which then reflexively results in defecation due to the expansion of the intestinal wall.

Application

- Constipation - bowel evacuation in preparation for operations and/or examinations - facilitation of bowel evacuation and softening of the stool in certain diseases, e.g. painful anal conditions
