Fortrans colon cleansing 64 g pack 4 pcs

Fortrans® is an laxative containing Macrogol 4000 (polyethylene glycol) and electrolytes (sodium, potassium, bicarbonate and chlorides). The high-molecular blend Macrogol 4000 is a long linear polymer that is capable of holding water molecules by means of hydrogen bonds. After oral administration, the product increases the volume of fluid in the intestine. The volume of unabsorbed fluid contained in the intestine provides the laxative effect of the product solution. The electrolytes included in the product ensure the maintenance of the composition of the blood plasma. The concentration of electrolytes in the solution of Fortrans® is such that the electrolyte exchange between the intestinal contents and the blood plasma is practically reduced to zero. Thus, the presence of electrolytes in Fortrans® prevents their loss from the body when a large amount of fluid passes through the gastrointestinal tract during the use of the product. Indications

Cleansing of the colon in preparation of the patient for the following procedures: endoscopic or radiographic examination of the colon; surgical interventions requiring the absence of contents in the colon.
