With Macrogol 4000 - gentle laxative for constipation

Sluggish digestion or constipation can significantly affect the quality of life.Typical side effects include flatulence, abdominal pain and a feeling of fullness, as well as pain during bowel movements.DulcoSoft® solution with the ingredient Macrogol 4000 works directly in the intestines, where it supports natural intestinal activity and thus contributes to regular, more pleasant bowel movements.

How does DulcoSoft® solution work?

The active ingredient macrogol binds the water in the intestines.This softens the stool, making it easier and more pleasant to pass.At the same time, the softer intestinal contents support natural intestinal activity and digestion gets going.Because DulcoSoft® makes the stool softer, it is also suitable for hemorrhoids and anal fissures, for example.

The effects begin approximately 24 to 72 hours after ingestion.DulcoSoft® solution is therefore suitable for the treatment of digestive problems when immediate bowel emptying is not desired, but gentle support of natural digestive activity is desired.DulcoSoft® solution can provide relief from irregular, hard bowel movements and help you go to the toilet more comfortably.The effect of DulcoSoft® solution is so gentle that it is suitable for children from 6 months of age.It supports the body's natural urge to defecate.It is not necessary to plan the intake as a sudden urge is not to be expected.

DulcoSoft® solution works locally in the intestine and does not pass into the blood.This makes it also suitable for pregnant and breastfeeding women.Since DulcoSoft® solution is sugar and gluten-free, it can also be taken by people with diabetes or celiac disease.

No prescription is required for this product.

Frequency and consistency - when is bowel movement actually normal?

How often you have bowel movements varies from person to person.In general medicine, a “normal” stool frequency is defined as going to the toilet between three times a day and three times a week - so it is quite normal not to have a bowel movement every day.However, infrequent bowel movements can be perceived as annoying.Especially when it comes to hard stools that involve a lot of effort, strong straining and pain.The complaints mentioned can be the first symptoms of a sluggish intestine and, if left untreated, can affect the quality of life of those affected.In addition to the frequency of bowel movements, the consistency - i.e. whether firm, soft, lumpy or smooth - also plays an important role.

Sometimes our gut can get out of sync;it becomes sluggish and the food remains in the digestive tract longer.The following applies: the longer it takes for food to pass through the intestines, the more water is removed from the stool - and it becomes hard.A recent survey of patients with constipation shows that the most common symptoms are heavy straining in almost 60% and hard stools in 71% of those surveyed.

But when is the stool consistency as it should be?The Bristol stool shape scale can provide information about this, which also allows conclusions to be drawn about how long the stool remains in the intestine.With this scale, the stool consistency can be classified as 'normal' (types 3, 4, 5), 'too soft' (types 6, 7) or 'too hard' (types 1, 2).
