100 tablets of 500 mg, with 325 mg of cascara sagrada (Rhamnus purshianus). Dicalcium phosphate, inulin, and magnesium stearate as excipients.

Properties:

It is a stimulant laxative, increasing colonic peristalsis by irritating the mucosa and acting on the nervous system. It also reduces the absorption of fluids and electrolytes, which prevents stool from becoming excessively dehydrated and resulting in constipation.

Instructions for use:

1-2 tablets daily, preferably before bedtime.

Warnings:

It should not be given to children under 10 years of age, and to children over 10 years of age only under medical prescription. In the absence of studies, it is preferable to avoid its use during the first trimester of pregnancy or use it only under medical supervision. It is also recommended to avoid its use during breastfeeding. In case of chronic use or abuse, it can lead to hypokalemia, causing an electrolyte imbalance that can be aggravated by the use of diuretics. Side effects include spasms and abdominal pain, especially in patients with irritable bowel syndrome. In cases of irritable bowel syndrome, Crohn's disease, appendicitis, spastic or paralytic ileus, intestinal obstruction, ulcerative colitis, or abdominal pain of unknown origin, consult a doctor.
