Description
Medical device for the symptomatic treatment of constipation and to soften stools.
The main component of DulcoSoft is macrogol 4,000, an osmotic laxative.
Macrogol 4,000 has a high water-retaining capacity. It acts as a water carrier and delays its intestinal absorption, leading to an increase in its quantity in the colon. It softens stools and increases their volume. This leads to accelerated intestinal transit and easier evacuation, providing a natural and gentle sensation of relief from constipation and irregularity.
Macrogol 4,000 has a purely physical mode of action: it is practically not absorbed by the body and is excreted unchanged.

Components
Macrogol 4000, potassium sorbate (preservative), citric acid, purified water.

Flavour-free, sugar-free, lactose-free and gluten-free.

How to use
Dilute with a drink of your choice (approximately 150 ml).
Adults and children over 8 years: 20-40 ml of solution per day (equal to 10-20 g of macrogol 4,000), preferably taken in a single dose in the morning.
Children aged 4-7 years: 16-32 ml of solution per day (equal to 8-16 g of macrogol 4,000), preferably taken in a single dose in the morning.
Children aged 2-3 years: 8-16 ml of solution per day (equal to 4-8 g of macrogol 4,000), preferably taken in a single dose in the morning.
Children aged 6 months to 1 year: 8 ml of solution per day (equal to 4 g of macrogol 4,000), preferably taken in a single dose in the morning.
Use in children under 12 years of age should preferably be under medical supervision.
Measure the dose using the measuring cup included in the package. The dose can be adjusted to individual needs, without exceeding the maximum recommended dose: it can vary from once a day to once every two days.
The appropriate dose is the minimum sufficient to produce regular evacuation of soft stools. The recommended daily dose should preferably be taken in a single dose in the morning.
The product's effectiveness becomes apparent between 24 and 72 hours after intake.
Do not take for more than 7 days.

Warnings
Do not take in case of:
- hypersensitivity to macrogol 4,000 or to any of the other components;
- severe inflammatory bowel diseases (such as ulcerative colitis, Crohn's disease) or toxic megacolon;
- gastrointestinal perforation or risk of gastrointestinal perforation;
- paralytic ileus or suspected intestinal obstruction or symptomatic stenosis;
- painful abdominal syndromes of unknown cause.
If you have any doubts, consult your doctor or pharmacist before taking DulcoSoft.
DulcoSoft should not be taken daily for prolonged periods without investigating the cause of constipation.
In case of diarrhea, caution should be exercised in patients prone to water or electrolyte imbalance (e.g. elderly, patients with impaired liver or kidney function or patients treated with diuretics) and electrolyte control should be considered.
In case of pregnancy and breastfeeding, consult your doctor first.
Do not use in children under 6 months of age.
Macrogol 4,000 increases osmotic pressure in the intestine and can therefore alter the intestinal absorption of other products taken concomitantly. Inform your doctor or pharmacist if you are taking any other product.
Excessive doses of DulcoSoft may cause diarrhea, abdominal pain, abdominal distension and vomiting, which resolve when treatment is stopped or the dose is reduced.
Keep out of sight and reach of children.
