Properties

One of the main components of the preparation is activated carbon (Carbo activatus). It adsorbs intestinal gases, bacterial toxins and other products of putrefactive decay of intestinal contents, causing intoxication, diarrhea and flatulence.

Senna leaves (Foliae Sennae) and rhubarb extract (Extr. Rhei), which are part of the preparation, stimulate peristalsis and have a mild disinfecting effect. This is achieved due to the release in the small intestine of active derivatives of anthraquinone (a glycoside contained in rhubarb and senna leaves), which stimulate the peristalsis of the large intestine, and also inhibit the absorption of water in it. Defecation occurs 6-10 hours after taking the drug. Senna leaves and rhubarb extract cause little fluid loss and do not interfere with food absorption.

The preparation also contains essential oils of mint and fennel, which provide its antispasmodic and anti-inflammatory effects.

Indications

The drug is indicated for the regulation and restoration of digestive function in patients in the postoperative period, especially after operations performed on the intestines, as well as in case of digestive disorders in pregnant women and women in the early postpartum period. In addition, the drug is used to cleanse the intestines and eliminate flatulence in preparing patients for X-ray, ultrasound and other instrumental examinations.
