Colestip
Chronic Constipation
Colestip is a medical device based on Macrogol 3350, an osmotic active ingredient, specifically indicated for the treatment of chronic or occasional constipation.
Its formulation is designed to increase intestinal peristalsis, regulating movements and promoting bowel emptying in a natural and gentle way.
It is effective in restoring a healthy digestive system and can also be used for effective intestinal cleansing in preparation for endoscopic examinations.
- Healthy digestive system
- Regular bowel movements
- Occasionally irregular bowel
- Increases intestinal peristalsis
COLESTIP works thanks to Macrogol 3350, an inert high molecular weight polymer that is neither absorbed nor metabolized by the gastrointestinal tract.
Its mechanism of action is purely physical: it acts by attracting and retaining large amounts of water in the intestinal lumen. This deep hydration softens the fecal mass and increases its volume.
The increase in volume naturally stimulates intestinal peristalsis, facilitating evacuation without causing cramps, bloating, or mucosal irritation. The non-pharmacological and osmotic action makes COLESTIP particularly suitable even for prolonged use.
