Macrogol AL powder for oral solution

MACROGOL AL 13.7 g - For constipation

If you do not have a bowel movement for more than three days, it is called constipation. Stool is lumpy, hard, or requires vigorous straining. This is often accompanied by abdominal pain. Not only older people are familiar with these problems, but also many holidaymakers. Certain eating habits, insufficient fluid intake and lack of exercise often lead to constipation.

laxatives to drink

The active substance macrogol is available as a powder to be made up into an oral solution. The solution produced binds water and swells into a gel that softens the hardened stool in the intestine and can thus make bowel movements easier. This principle also works if the constipation has existed for a long period of time.

APPLICATION RECOMMENDATION:

Unless otherwise prescribed by a doctor, adults, children over the age of 12 and older patients put the contents of the sachet in a glass and add 125 ml of water. The contents are stirred until all the powder has dissolved and the solution is clear or slightly cloudy. This is drunk. For most patients, the normal dose is 1-2 sachets per day. Depending on the result, 3 sachets per day may be required. The dose depends on the severity of the constipation. The dose may be reduced to the lowest effective dose after a few days. The duration of treatment is usually 2 weeks. If symptoms persist after 2 weeks of treatment, a doctor should be consulted.

To treat the most severe constipation (faecal impaction), it is advisable to dissolve the contents of 8 sachets in 1 liter of water. The ready-to-use solution should be kept in a sealed container in the refrigerator for no longer than 24 hours and treatment with MACROGOL AL should not last longer than three days.

change habits

A change in diet can prevent constipation in many cases. A glass of mineral water or fruit juice on an empty stomach in the morning and a high-fiber breakfast also stimulate digestion. Defecation at fixed times also plays a crucial role, because frequent suppression of bowel movements reduces bowel activity.

Don't forget movement

Sufficient exercise also stimulates the intestines. People who sit a lot and travel on business know the phenomenon of constipation after long breaks in movement. Regular walks or other forms of exercise can help here. Yoga, for example, can help to get the intestines moving again.

In old age

The risk of suffering from constipation increases with age. Immobility and being bedridden lead to persistent constipation. In addition, the feeling of thirst decreases with age and fluid intake decreases, which also promotes constipation. Controlled drinking and exercise as far as possible can support intestinal activity.
