Description of TRANSIPEG 5.9 g powder oral solution in Sachets

Indication :

  • Constipation (INDICATION)
  • Constipation (INDICATION_GROUP)
  • Palliative care (INDICATION_GROUP)

Intestinal transit
Food has a long journey to make. During this gastrointestinal odyssey, which can last up to thirty-six hours, food is chewed and predigested in the mouth, then travels down the esophagus to the stomach, propelled by undulatory movements of the esophageal wall. Located at the entrance to the stomach, the cardiac glands lubricate the food that enters. The stomach secretes hydrochloric acid and a number of enzymes that help digest carbohydrates, proteins and lipids. Once liquefied, food slides towards the duodenum and arrives in the small intestine, responsible for completing digestion and absorbing food products (nutrients) for use in the lymphatic system and bloodstream.

Constipation occurs when stools are hard, dry and difficult to pass. In general, this is diagnosed below 3 bowel movements per week. Occasional constipation usually results in bloating and intestinal pain, but can lead to serious complications.

GLOSSARY (summary)


osmotic laxative
Laxative to make stools more liquid by retaining water in the contents of the intestine. It is devoid of toxicity.


edema
Accumulation of water or lymph causing localized swelling.


phenylketonuria
An inherited disease that is characterized by the absence of an enzyme and that leads to the accumulation in the blood of a toxic product. Screening is systematic at birth. Treatment is based on a specific diet during early childhood.


allergic reaction
Reaction due to hypersensitivity of the organism to a drug. Allergic reactions can take a wide variety of aspects: urticaria, angioedema, eczema, eruption of pimples resembling measles, etc. Anaphylactic shock is a generalized allergic reaction that causes discomfort due to a sudden drop in blood pressure.


overdose
Excessive intake of a drug may result in an increase in the intensity of adverse effects or even in the development of specific adverse effects.
This overdose may result from accidental or voluntary poisoning for suicide, so consult your local Poison Control Center (listed in the appendix to the book). However, in most cases, overdose is the result of an error in the understanding of the prescription, or the search for an increase in efficacy by exceeding the recommended dosage. Finally, untimely self-medication may lead to excessive absorption of the same substance contained in different drugs. Some drugs are particularly prone to this risk because they are (wrongly) considered to be harmless: vitamins A and D, aspirin, etc. Stopping or decreasing drug intake helps to remove the disorders associated with an overdose.


symptomatic treatment
Treatment that suppresses or alleviates the symptoms of a disease without addressing its cause.


urticaria
Eruption of pimples on the skin, whose origin is mostly allergic. The buds look like nettles and their color varies from pale pink to red.

Dietary fibre and obesity: the key role of the pharmacist Dietary fibre and obesity: the key role of the pharmacist

It 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…

How intestinal microbiota and dietary fibre improve your health How intestinal microbiota and dietary fibre improve your health

Dietary 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…
