Dicopeg Esse 20 Sachets 5G Macrogol 3350

Description
Medical Device with laxative action, indicated for the symptomatic treatment of constipation.
Promotes peristalsis, helping to achieve adequate bowel evacuation, thus counteracting constipation and preventing the formation of fecaliths. It also facilitates the elimination of intestinal gases by reducing the sensation of bloating and abdominal distension.
Dicopeg esse is available in powder for oral solution.
Macrogol is an inert, water-soluble polymer with a high molecular weight that can bind to water used for intake, retaining it in the stool. It results in rehydration and softening of the fecal mass, making evacuation easier. Accelerates intestinal transit by promoting peristalsis. It is not absorbed or metabolized in the gastrointestinal tract and does not cause electrolyte imbalances if taken with the recommended dose of liquid.
Simethicone is a substance capable of reducing the surface tension of gas bubbles in the gastrointestinal tract, facilitating their expulsion.

In case of unwanted reactions, even if different from those listed, stop treatment and consult your doctor. Some gastrointestinal disturbances may occur (stomach pain, flatulence, bloating, nausea and fecal incontinence).

Rare cases of hypersensitivity reactions (skin rash) have been reported following the use of products containing macrogol. In such cases, stop treatment and consult your doctor.
Do not take Dicopeg esse if there is known hypersensitivity to macrogol or other ingredients, or in cases of bowel perforation, obstruction, or stenosis, paralytic ileus, severe inflammatory diseases of the gastrointestinal tract such as Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis, and toxic megacolon.
