Description
Medical device with a laxative action, indicated for the symptomatic treatment of constipation.
It promotes peristalsis, helping to achieve adequate bowel evacuation, thus counteracting constipation and preventing the formation of fecal impactions.
It also facilitates the elimination of intestinal gas, reducing the sensation of bloating and abdominal distension.
Macrogol is an inert, water-soluble, high molecular weight polymer that has the ability to bind to the water used for intake, retaining it in the feces. It rehydrates and softens the fecal mass and facilitates its evacuation. It accelerates intestinal transit by promoting peristalsis. It is not absorbed or metabolized in the gastrointestinal tract and does not lead to hydro-electrolytic imbalances if taken with the indicated dose of liquid.
Simethicone is a substance that can reduce the surface tension of gas bubbles present in the gastrointestinal tract, facilitating their expulsion.

How to use
Use the measuring scoop included in the package to dose the powder: fill it level and not compressed, then remove any excess product with the blade of a knife.

The product may reduce the residence time in the intestine and therefore the absorption of oral medicines. It is therefore advisable to consult a doctor if taking oral medicines simultaneously, which should in any case be administered at least 2 hours apart.
In case of undesired reactions, even if different from those listed, discontinue treatment and consult your doctor. Some gastrointestinal disturbances (stomach ache, flatulence, abdominal bloating, nausea and fecal incontinence) may occur. Diarrhea is a side effect of taking excessive doses of Dicopeg esse and can be avoided by reducing the dose. Cases of hypersensitivity reactions (skin rash) have been rarely reported following the use of products containing macrogol. In this case, discontinue treatment and consult a doctor.
Do not take Dicopeg esse in case of known hypersensitivity to macrogol or other components, perforation, intestinal obstruction or stenosis, paralytic ileus, severe inflammatory bowel diseases such as Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis, and toxic megacolon.
The use of laxatives is contraindicated in cases of acute or unknown abdominal pain, nausea and vomiting, rectal bleeding of unknown origin, and in cases of severe dehydration.
