How does the active ingredient of the medicine work?

The active ingredient prevents water and salts from being removed from the intestinal contents. At the same time, it promotes the flow of water and salts into the intestine. This increases the volume of the intestinal contents and makes them softer, which leads to an urge to defecate and easier defecation.

Application

- Constipation, for short-term use - facilitates bowel evacuation and softens the stool, e.g. in the case of painful bowel complaints or after operationsThe medicine should only be used if the constipation cannot be remedied by changing the diet.
