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® Orange 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® Orange, especially for long-term use.
