When should DulcoSoft GO Constipation Lemon be used to relieve constipation?
DulcoSoft GO Constipation Lemon is a ready-to-use oral solution intended for adults and adolescents aged 12 and older to treat occasional constipation. Its main ingredient, macrogol 4000, works mechanically in the intestine to soften stools and facilitate their passage.
Macrogol 4000 is a water-soluble polymer that binds water in the intestines. This action increases stool hydration and naturally supports their movement through the colon. It thus helps provide gentle relief from constipation, usually within 24 to 72 hours.
This oral solution comes in ready-to-use single-dose packets with a lemon flavor. It can be mixed with 125 ml of water or another beverage, or taken directly, provided you drink about 125 ml of liquid afterward. This format makes it easy to use on a daily basis, especially when you’re on the go.
DulcoSoft GO is formulated to be sugar-free, lactose-free, and gluten-free. It is therefore suitable for people with diabetes. Macrogol 4000 is neither absorbed nor metabolized by the gastrointestinal tract when used as directed.
The solution may also be used during pregnancy or while breastfeeding, after consulting a healthcare professional. For children aged 12 and older, its use must be supervised by an adult, and it is recommended to seek advice from a healthcare professional.
To complement your efforts to maintain regular bowel movements, you may also want to try Vitall+ Fibre Plus with Probiotics, which combines fiber and microorganisms in a formula designed to support digestive comfort.

Our expert advice on DulcoSoft GO to promote regular bowel movements
For occasional constipation, we recommend combining the use of DulcoSoft GO with adequate hydration and a diet rich in fiber. Drinking water regularly throughout the day, maintaining an appropriate level of physical activity, and taking the time to use the restroom as soon as the urge arises can also help promote more regular bowel movements. Macrogol works primarily by increasing the amount of water in the stool, which is why it’s important to maintain adequate fluid intake. If constipation becomes frequent, persists despite treatment, or is accompanied by unusual pain, vomiting, blood in the stool, or a change in your general condition, consult your doctor or pharmacist.
