InterMed Medilax-N Microenemas 6x5ml

MEDILAX-N Microenemas is a medical technology product, specifically designed to help manage the symptoms of constipation, faecal impaction and tenesmus.

The product contains as main ingredients sodium citrate and sodium lauroyl-sarcosinate. Sodium citrate acts as an osmotic laxative, increasing the amount of water within the colon, trapping fluid from the rest of the body toward the intestine, or retaining the fluid of the microenema itself within the stool.

Sodium lauroyl-sarcosinate acts as an anionic surfactant, which provides faecal hydration and improves water penetration, thus helping to soften the faeces.

In addition, the product contains agents with soothing properties that relieve the irritated intestinal lumen and is specially designed for the immediate relief of symptoms of functional or acute constipation and tenesmus. The content of the product is excreted unchanged, without being absorbed by the large intestine.

Overall, the composition of MEDILAX-N Microenemas helps to soften the stool, increasing its volume and inducing normal bowel contraction. The result is immediate colon emptying in less than half an hour.
