Macrogol HEXAL® plus electrolytes - For chronic constipation

Macrogol HEXAL® plus electrolytes is a powdered laxative that helps with chronic constipation.It is suitable for adults and teenagers aged 12 and over.Regular digestion is important for well-being, while constipation can affect quality of life.The drinking solution with an orange-lemon-lime aroma gently stimulates natural intestinal movement and can thus relieve constipation.

Mechanism of action - how does Macrogol HEXAL® plus electrolytes work?

Macrogol HEXAL® plus electrolytes gently but effectively moves the intestines.It binds water like a sponge and transports the liquid into the large intestine.There the hard stool is softened and the stool volume increases.This triggers a stretching stimulus and allows the bowel to be emptied.

How does constipation occur?

Constipation can have various causes.A change in diet, too little fluid intake, feverish illnesses or medications taken can cause a sluggish intestine.Illnesses such as irritable bowel syndrome, diverticula or hemorrhoids can also be the cause.Disturbances in the salt balance or pressure on the gastrointestinal tract in pregnant women can also cause digestive problems.

You can support your digestion with the following measures: exercise sufficiently, eat a diet rich in fiber with fruit, vegetables and whole grain products, ensure adequate fluid intake, take enough time for meals and chew food thoroughly, do not hold back bowel movements and take enough time to go to the toilet, reduce stress and stressful situations.

Area of application

Macrogol HEXAL® plus electrolytes is a laxative for the treatment of chronic constipation of various causes.It contains macrogol 3350, an osmotically active ingredient that stimulates intestinal activity and relieves constipation in a natural and gentle way.

For adults and young people aged 12 and over, Macrogol HEXAL® plus electrolytes has a gentle effect, stimulates natural intestinal movement, has no habituation effect and has a pleasant orange-lemon-lime aroma.

Mode of action

Macrogol 3350 expands as water is absorbed in the intestines, thereby increasing stool volume.This causes intestinal motility to be stimulated and solid stools to soften, eventually leading to defecation.In addition, Macrogol HEXAL® plus electrolytes with sodium and potassium contains important electrolytes that would normally be increasingly excreted when using laxatives and would therefore be lost to the body.This otherwise negative balance is offset by the use of Macrogol HEXAL® plus electrolytes, especially for long-term use.
