The drug "Frutolaks", reviews of which confirm its effectiveness, is produced by LLC "VIS" - an enterprise specializing in the production of biologically active food additives. It can be prescribed to adult patients or children over 14 years old. The tool is produced in two dosage forms - in syrup and in capsules. The effect of its use is due to the specific composition of the drug: it includes dietary fiber, extracts of fruits and medicinal plants. Each of the components of the laxative "Frutolaks" (reviews prove its effectiveness), struggles with one or another cause of constipation, exerting a natural, mild effect on the body.
The contractions of the intestine, provided by its smooth muscles, are well stimulated by fiber - fibers found in vegetables and fruits. It is the lack of plant products in the diet that specialists are inclined to consider as one of the reasons leading to lethargy of the intestine and its irregular emptying. The composition of “Frutolaks” capsules includes not only much needed dietary fiber obtained from sugar beets, but also its dry juice. As you know, this root crop has a pronounced laxative and diuretic effect. In folk medicine, in addition to eating beetroot juice, microclysters with beetroot decoction were practiced for relaxation: this tool helped to quickly and painlessly empty the intestines.
The drug "Frutolaks" (both capsules and syrup) contains senna leaf extract . This plant is traditionally used to treat chronic constipation caused by atony - lethargy of the intestine. In addition, it contains extracts of fruits of prunes, fennel, figs and apricot. Prunes stimulate the muscles of the large intestine, improve the separation of digestive juices and increase appetite. Pectin substances (polysaccharides) contained in figs have a mild laxative effect. Apricot extract is a unique complex of useful substances that have a restorative and tonic, laxative and diuretic effect on the body. These fruits improve digestion and metabolism, enrich the body with vitamins and mineral salts. The extract of fennel fruits, which has long been used in medicine as a carminative, promotes relaxation of the intestines and the release of intestinal gases.
In addition to these components, both dosage forms of the Frutolax preparation (reviews confirm its effective effect) include lactulose, a prebiotic that helps normalize intestinal microflora and is, in addition, an osmotic laxative. It is not addictive and does not irritate the intestinal wall. The laxative effect of osmotic laxatives is based on their ability to soften stool and increase their volume, which contributes to quick and easy bowel movements.
The recommended dosage of the drug is as follows: “Frutolax" for children from 14 years of age is prescribed 2 and 2-4 capsules for adults (syrup, respectively, one or two teaspoons). They take medicine in the evening - in this case, bowel cleansing will occur in the morning.
Due to the properties of its components, natural and completely harmless, the drug “Frutolaks" (reviews confirm this) can be safely used as a laxative not only by adults and adolescents, but also by elderly people suffering from age-related weakness of the intestinal muscles. However, in the event that there are any diseases of the gastrointestinal tract, you should consult your doctor: taking the drug can cause an exacerbation of some of them. A contraindication to its use is the age of up to 14 years. The drug "Frutolaks" during pregnancy and lactation should also not be taken.
