Description
Medical device.
Symptomatic treatment of constipation. It promotes peristalsis, helping to achieve adequate bowel evacuation, thus counteracting constipation and preventing the formation of fecal impaction.
Macrogol is a high molecular weight, water-soluble inert polymer that has the ability to bind to the water used for administration, retaining it in the feces. This rehydrates and softens the fecal mass and facilitates its evacuation. It accelerates intestinal transit, promoting peristalsis. It is not absorbed or metabolized in the gastrointestinal tract and does not lead to hydro-electrolyte imbalance, if taken with the indicated dose of liquid.
Suitable for diabetics.
Sugar-free.

Instructions for use
Indicated for adults and children over 12 years of age:
- 1 to 4 sachets per day.
The dose should be increased or decreased, depending on the individual response to treatment, to allow regular evacuation of soft stools.
The maximum necessary dose normally does not exceed 4 sachets per day.

Dissolve the powder in water or other liquid (125 ml per sachet) and take immediately. It is advisable to administer the product in the morning, if the minimum dose (1 sachet per day) is to be taken. For larger doses, divide the intake between morning and evening.
If no improvement is observed after 7 days of treatment, consult your doctor.

Warnings
Administration to children must be carried out under direct adult supervision.
Consult your doctor before use during pregnancy and breastfeeding.
Do not use after the expiry date indicated on the package.
Do not use if the package is open or damaged.
The product may reduce the residence time in the intestine and therefore the absorption of orally administered medicines. It is therefore advisable to consult your doctor if you are taking oral medicines concurrently, which must in any case be administered at least 2 hours apart.
The product may have a potential interaction effect when used with starch-based food thickeners. Macrogol counteracts the thickening effect of starch, liquefying preparations that should otherwise remain thick to allow ingestion by people with swallowing problems.
In case of adverse reactions, discontinue treatment and consult your doctor.
Keep out of reach and sight of children.
Do not take in case of:
- known hypersensitivity to one or more components;
- paralytic ileus;
- intestinal perforation, obstruction or stenosis;
- severe inflammatory bowel diseases (e.g. ulcerative colitis, Crohn's disease, toxic megacolon).
The use of laxatives is contraindicated in the presence of acute or unknown abdominal pain, nausea and vomiting, rectal bleeding of unknown origin and in cases of severe dehydration.
Some gastrointestinal disturbances (stomach ache, flatulence, abdominal bloating, nausea and fecal incontinence) may occur.
Diarrhea is a side effect of taking excessive doses of Normalene Macrogol 4000 - and can be avoided by reducing the dose.
Cases of hypersensitivity reactions (skin rash) have rarely been reported following the use of products containing macrogol. In this case, discontinue treatment and consult your doctor.
