Warnings
Do not take Macrostip sachets in case of known hypersensitivity to the raw materials, gastrointestinal perforation and/or obstruction, known gastric or intestinal lesions, severe inflammatory diseases of the gastrointestinal tract such as Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis and toxic megacolon.
There are no known interactions with medications, but it is recommended that the product be taken at least 2 hours after oral medications, as the osmotic power of macrogol and the increased gastrointestinal transit speed it induces may negatively affect their effect. Consult your doctor before taking Macrostip sachets if you are currently taking other medications.
Macrostip sachets may potentially interact if used with starch-based food thickeners.
The ingredient macrogol counteracts the thickening effect of starch, thereby liquefying preparations that must remain thick for people with swallowing problems.
It is generally well tolerated because its mechanism of action is physical/mechanical and does not depend on systemic absorption. Side effects may occur while taking it, such as indigestion, stomach pain or rumbling, bloating, flatulence, nausea, vomiting, anal irritation, and mild diarrhea. These effects improve by reducing the dose. If you experience an allergic reaction, discontinue use and contact your doctor. If you experience any side effects, inform your doctor or pharmacist.
Keep out of the reach and sight of children. Consult your doctor before taking this product during pregnancy and breastfeeding. Use in children under 12 years of age should preferably be under medical supervision. Do not use Macrostip sachets for more than 30 consecutive days. If symptoms persist, consult your doctor. Avoid contact with eyes. Do not use the medical device after the expiration date. Do not use if the packaging is damaged. Treatment of fecal impaction requires prior medical advice.
