Chlorumagene from the SERP laboratory, in powder form in a 100g jar, on sale in our online pharmacy, is a laxative medication indicated for the symptomatic treatment of constipation.
There are many causes of constipation, most of which are not serious. And, fortunately, simple lifestyle measures are often highly effective against this very feminine condition.
In some cases, constipation is the result of a slowdown in the progress of food through the colon (large intestine). In other cases, there are difficulties in evacuating stool from the rectum (end of the colon) and the anus ("terminal constipation").
Recommended for the symptomatic treatment of constipation. Its osmotic effect is similar in intensity to that of stimulants. It modifies intestinal hydro-electrolytic exchanges and stimulates colonic motricity. Onset of action: 6 to 8 hours.
Magnesium hydroxide is used as a laxative to treat constipation. Constipation is the term used to describe the condition where stools passed are hard and less frequent than normal. Constipation can be caused by poor diet, not drinking enough water and not having a bowel movement as soon as necessary. Pregnancy, lack of exercise or movement (such as being sick in bed) and certain medications, including painkillers, can also cause constipation. Magnesium hydroxide is an osmotic laxative which means it works by drawing water into the intestine, softening the stool, making it easier to pass.
Adults: 1 teaspoon in the evening at bedtime or in the morning on an empty stomach.
Take diluted in a glass of water.
Treatment should be short-term (8 to 10 days maximum).
