Product Description
What is Dicopeg Endo Si Powder?
Dicopeg Endo Si is a medical device in the form of a powder in sachets used to effectively cleanse the intestines. Removing solid debris from the colon is crucial when preparing a patient for endoscopic, radiological, and ultrasound examinations, which enables an accurate diagnosis.
The composition of Dicopeg Endo Si includes macrogol 3350, an inert substance that is not absorbed, does not irritate the intestinal mucosa, does not ferment, and is excreted unchanged. Thanks to its ability to bind water, macrogol retains a significant amount of fluid in the intestines, which hydrates fecal masses and stimulates intestinal peristalsis. Additionally, the preparation contains simethicone, which has an antifoaming effect, which facilitates the elimination of gas from the gastrointestinal tract.
What is Dicopeg Endo Si used for?
- constipation;
- preparation for endoscopic, radiological, and ultrasound examinations;
- flatulence associated with constipation.
How to use Dicopeg Endo Si?
This is a medical device. Before use, read the package leaflet. Use the product according to the leaflet (unless your doctor has recommended otherwise)
- pour the contents of two sachets into 1 liter of water, shake vigorously and drink the homogeneous solution within 1-2 hours, taking, for example, 250 ml of the solution every 10-15 minutes;
