Parkolax is a Macrogol-based laxative with an osmotic effect. This means that it draws water into the colon and facilitates the softening and elimination of faecal matter. It comes in the form of soluble sachets.
Forms of release
Parkolax is available in boxes of 50 sachets – powder for oral solution.
Indications
Parkolax is indicated for constipation. It works by drawing water into the colon and promoting stool softening. This triggers intestinal motility and speeds up defecation. The active substance is Macrogol, which is not absorbed into the body – it acts physically and is eliminated with the faeces. The effect occurs after a few days of use.
Dosage and administration
This medicine is recommended for adults and children over 12 years of age. In general, the recommended dose is 1-3 sachets per day.
How to take Parkolax: Parkolax sachets are dissolved in water and consumed – they have a pleasant citrus flavour. They can be taken at any time, with or without food or drink.
How long to take Parkolax: The duration of administration varies depending on the needs of the body. The effects begin to appear a few days after the first sachet is used. Doses can be maintained or adjusted according to needs and effect. In case of persistent constipation, the dose will be increased to 3 sachets per day. In case of normal frequency and appearance of stools, the initial starting dose is maintained. If watery stools occur, it will be necessary to reduce the doses or stop the treatment. Parkolax can be used as needed and for a longer period of time – it is not addictive and does not affect intestinal motility.
