Pharmacological properties

MICROLAXЃ is a combined preparation with a laxative effect. The effect occurs in 5-15 minutes. The preparation contains sodium citrate (a peptizer that displaces bound water contained in feces), sodium lauryl sulfoacetate (dilutes the contents of the intestines) and sorbitol (enhances the laxative effect by stimulating the flow of water into the intestines). An increase in the amount of water due to peptization and liquefaction promotes softening of feces and facilitates bowel movement.

Indications for use:

Constipation, incl. with encopresis, preparation for endoscopic (rectoscopy) and X-ray examination of the gastrointestinal tract.

Contraindications:

Increased individual sensitivity to the components of the drug.

Application during pregnancy and during breastfeeding:

There have been no adequate and well-controlled studies in pregnant women. Since this drug is probably only insignificantly absorbed into the systemic circulation, when used as recommended during pregnancy or lactation, adverse effects on the fetus or nursing child are not expected.

Method of administration and dosage:

Adults and children over 3 years old

Introduce the entire contents of one micro enema rectally, inserting the tip to its full length (the length of the universal tip is 60.6 mm, see Fig. 1).

Newborns and children under 3 years of age

Inject the entire contents of one micro enema rectally by inserting the universal tip halfway down (see the mark on the tip, see Fig. 1).

If the complaints persist for a long time, then it is necessary to consult a doctor.

For children under 3 years old, it is also possible to use microclysters with a shortened tip (the length of the shortened tip is 47.3 mm - see Fig. 2). In this case, it is necessary to enter the entire contents of one micro enema rectally, inserting the tip to the full length.

Directions for use:

Break off the seal on the tip of the tube.

Press lightly on the tube so that the drop of the drug smears the tip of the enema - this will facilitate the administration process.

While squeezing the tube, squeeze out its contents completely.

Remove the tip while still squeezing the tube slightly.
