Dulcosoft Constipation Macrogol 4000 is an effective treatment for occasional constipation. It is easy to use and gentle on the digestive system.
For warnings, precautions, and contraindications, please refer to the package insert for Dulcosoft in sachets.
Occasional constipation affects millions of French people, but this gastrointestinal disorder—the most common among adults—is particularly prevalent 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 may also play a role in this condition. In fact, 45% of women feel they have always been more or less constipated, to the point of experiencing daily anxiety.
DulcoSoft packets are used for the symptomatic treatment of constipation. The main ingredient in DulcoSoft® is macrogol 4000, an osmotic laxative.
Macrogol 4000 has a high water-retention capacity. It acts as a carrier for fluid (water) and delays the intestinal absorption of water, leading to an increase in the amount of water in the colon. There, it softens hard stools and increases their volume. This helpsspeed up bowel transit and makes bowel movements easier, providing a natural sense of relief. Macrogol 4000 acts purely through physical mechanisms: it is not absorbed by the body and is excreted unchanged.
Both discreet and effective, Dulcosoft Constipation Macrogol 4000 addresses a commonly overlooked and often taboo issue: occasional constipation. This condition affects everyone—teens, adults, and children ages 8 and up—and anyone can experience it. For pregnant and breastfeeding women, this product should be used only under medical supervision.
In fact, constipation can occur for several reasons, particularly as a result of an improper diet or the use of certain medications. This digestive disorder, although common, can lead to significant complications if left untreated. Fecal impaction—the accumulation of hardened fecal matter—and hemorrhoids, caused by excessive straining during bowel movements, are among the possible consequences of constipation. Dulcosoft Constipation Macrogol 4000, available in single-use packets, offers you a gentle and effective solution.
The only active ingredient in Dulcosoft is macrogol 4000. Macrogol 4000 is an osmotic laxative that, through its mechanism of action, draws water into the intestine, thereby helping to hydrate and soften the stool. By increasing stool volume, it facilitates their passage through the intestines, providing a gentle yet effective relief from constipation. Macrogol 4000 has the advantage of not being absorbed by the body and begins to work between 24 and 72 hours after ingestion.
Dulcosoft Constipation Macrogol 4000 also stands out for its ease of use. Since it is tasteless, it can be easily dissolved in a beverage—whether hot or cold—or simply in water, making it virtually imperceptible when consumed. For those with gluten intolerance, you’ll be relieved to know that this product is gluten-free.
For those who prefer an alternative to Dulcosoft in pouches, the Dulcosoft oral solution may be an attractive option, available online at the best price.
Children under 8 years of age should not use this product.
DulcoSoft usually takes 24 to 72 hours to take effect. It should not be taken for more than 15 days. If constipation persists, the cause should be investigated.

DulcoSoft is a medical device whose main component is macrogol 4000, an osmotic laxative. Macrogol 4000 has a high water holding capacity. It serves as a support to transport the liquid (water) and delays the intestinal absorption of water, resulting in an increase in the amount of water in the colon. It softens the hard stools and increases their volume. This leads to faster transit and to make evacuation easier, offering a natural feeling of relief. Macrogol 4000 has a purely physical mode of action: it is not absorbed by the body and is excreted in unchanged form.
DulcoSoft is recommended to relieve constipation and soften hard stools.
DulcoSoft has a flavorless taste and can be dissolved (pouch) or mixed directly (drinkable solution) in water or in a cold or hot drink (about 150 ml): glass of water, fruit juice or tea for example .
Unless otherwise prescribed by the physician, the recommended dose is 20 to 40 ml of solution (dose measured using the measuring cup) or 1 to 2 sachets per day (equivalent to 10 to 20 g of macrogol 4000), to be taken preferably at one time in the morning.
The recommended dose above should be adapted according to individual requirements. It can go from 1 catch per day to 1 catch every 2 days. The appropriate dose is the lowest that can produce regular soft stools.
DulcoSoft usually requires 24 to 72 hours to effect. It should not be taken for more than 15 days. If constipation persists, the cause should be investigated.
Do not take a double dose of DulcoSoft if you forget the previous dose.
Excessive doses of DulcoSoft are likely to cause diarrhea, abdominal pain, abdominal distension, or vomiting that stops when treatment is discontinued or the dose decreased.

Read the article on the blogIt is widely recognised by researchers that a 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…
Read the article on the blogDietary fiber, 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 fiber, producing short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) such as acetate, propionate and…
