It is considered that one person in 5 in France is constipated, even more when we focus on women in particular.

TRANSIPEG 5.9G LEMON 14 SACHETS, powder for oral solution in sachet belongs to a group of medicines called osmotic laxatives . It is medication is advised in the treatment of occasional constipation in adults.
Macrogol is an osmotic laxative substance, it is capable of causing an increase in the volume of intestinal fluids . This increase will firstly soften the stool and secondly stimulate the intestine and the colon (via neuromuscular receptors located in the wall of the digestive tract). They will then increase their motor skills so as to expel the stools which will also become less dense.
Whether it is occasional or persistent, constipation affects 1 in 4 people and affects women in 80% of cases. We can speak of constipation when the stools are hard, dry and difficult to evacuate. In general, this is diagnosed below 3 bowel movements per week. Occasional constipation most often results in bloating and stomach pain, but can lead to serious complications.
