Pharmacotherapeutic group Osmotically acting laxatives ATC code: A06AD15 High molecular weight (4000) macrogols are long linear polymers that hold water molecules through hydrogen bonds. When taken orally, they increase the volume of fluid contained in the intestines. The laxative properties of the solution are explained by the volume of non-absorbable fluid in the intestine. Pharmacokinetic characteristics Pharmacokinetic data confirm the absence of intestinal absorption and biotransformation of macrogol 4000 after oral administration. Indications for use Symptomatic treatment of constipation in adults and children over 8 years of age. Before proceeding with treatment, it is necessary to exclude the organic cause of the disorder. Treatment of constipation in children should not be long and exceed 3 months, combined with observance of general hygiene measures and diet therapy until complete restoration of transit. If symptoms persist despite hygienic and dietary measures, the appropriate cause of constipation should be identified and treated.
