Dulcosoft Constipation Macrogol 4000 is an effective solution for the treatment of occasional constipation. It is easy to use and gentle on the digestive system.
For warnings, precautions and contraindications, please consult the dulcosoft sachet leaflet.
Occasional constipation affects millions of people in France, but this gastrointestinal disorder, the most common among adults, is particularly common among women, who suffer from it two to three times more often than men. Diet, a sedentary lifestyle and lack of exercise are common factors, but female hormones are also thought to play a role. In fact, 45% of women consider that they have always been more or less constipated, to the point of feeling anxious about it on a daily basis.
DulcoSoft sachets are used for the symptomatic treatment of constipation.
The main component of DulcoSoft® is macrogol 4000, an osmotic laxative. Macrogol 4000 has a high water-holding capacity. It acts as a carrier to transport liquid (water) and delays intestinal absorption of water, leading to an increase in the amount of water in the colon. It softens hard stools and increases their volume. This speeds up transit and makes evacuation easier, offering a sensation of natural relief. Macrogol 4000 has a purely physical mode of action: it is not absorbed by the body and is excreted unchanged.
Both discreet and powerful, Dulcosoft Constipation Macrogol 4000 tackles a commonly neglected and often taboo problem: occasional constipation. Whether you're a teenager, an adult or a child aged 8 and over, you can fall victim to this phenomenon. Pregnant and breast-feeding women should use this product only on medical advice.
In fact, constipation can occur for a number of reasons, notably as a result of an unsuitable diet or the use of certain medications. This digestive disorder, although common, can lead to significant complications if left unchecked. Fecal impaction, or an accumulation of hardened fecal matter, and hemorrhoids, caused by excessive straining during defecation, are among the possible consequences of constipation. Dulcosoft Constipation Macrogol 4000, available in sachets, offers you a gentle, effective solution.
Dulcosoft's sole active ingredient is macrogol 4000. Macrogol is an osmotic laxative whose mode of action draws water into the intestine, helping to hydrate and soften stools. By increasing stool volume, it facilitates transit through the intestine, offering a gentle but effective response to constipation. Macrogol 4000 has the advantage of not being absorbed by the body, and begins to take effect between 24 and 72 hours after intake.
Dulcosoft Constipation Macrogol 4000 is also distinguished by its ease of use. Tasteless, it can be easily dissolved in hot or cold beverages, or simply in water, making it virtually imperceptible when consumed. For people with gluten intolerance, you'll be reassured to know that this product is gluten-free.
In addition to Dulcosoft Constipation Macrogol 4000, there are several other products that can benefit your intestinal well-being.
To strengthen your intestinal flora, consider adding probiotics to your daily diet. Probiolog Fort capsules, loaded with lactic ferments, help support the immune system and maintain a healthy balance of intestinal microflora.
In addition, a diet rich in fiber is essential to maintain regular intestinal transit. To complement a healthy, balanced diet, you could consider adding dietary supplements such as organic Psyllium blond, renowned for its intestinal transit-regulating properties.
Hydration also plays a crucial role in good intestinal transit. Consider incorporating magnesium-rich oral rehydration solutions into your daily routine.
And for those who prefer an alternative to Dulcosoft sachets, the Dulcosoft drinkable solution version could be an interesting option.
So don't hesitate to explore these complementary products when you buy Dulcosoft Constipation Macrogol 4000 for all-round management of your digestive comfort.

Read the article on the blogIt is widely recognised by researchers thata high-fibre diet protects against obesity and diabetes. However, the mechanisms involved had remained mysterious for almost two decades. In 2014, a Franco-Swedish team of researchers from CNRS, Inserm and Université Claude Bernard Lyon 1 (Inserm Unit 855 "Nutrition and the Brain") elucidated this mechanism, which involves the intestinal flora and the gut's ability…
Read the article on the blogDietary fibre, mainly of plant origin, resists digestion and absorption in the human small intestine. Unlike other nutrients, it passes intact into the colon. It is at this stage that the intestinal microbiota, a dense community of microorganisms in the large intestine, comes into play. This microbiota ferments dietary fibre, producing short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) such as acetate, propionate and…
