Description
Medical device in powder for oral solution. It can be taken in case of occasional bowel irregularity and is particularly indicated for chronic constipation.
Macro-Lax 4000 helps the natural balance of bowel functions; it has a laxative action, which through a physical mechanism draws water, thus softening the stool and making evacuation easier. In this way, it promotes a sense of well-being and relief. It is not absorbed or fermented in the intestine, does not irritate the gastrointestinal tract mucosa, and is eliminated in the feces in an unmodified form. It generally does not cause cramps, abdominal pain, or flatulence. Its effectiveness does not decrease over time.
