These bacteria strengthen human immunity, produce folic acid, restore the composition of microflora in the intestine. The basis of these tablets from constipation is most often lactulose.

Acting slowly, such laxatives often give a greater effect than stimulants of peristalsis, since they eliminate not the symptoms, but the very cause of constipation.

Goodluck, Dufalac, Romfalak, Lactulose-Normase refer to probiotics with lactulose in the form of an active substance, which effectively softens the stool, promotes better feces removal and has a beneficial effect on the formation of useful microflora in the digestive tract.

Osmolytic drugs and intestinal fillers

Laxative-osmolytics act on the principle of increasing fecal masses in volume and diluting their consistency.

These medications are considered to be perfectly safe for the intestines, since they do not irritate its walls.

In addition, these laxatives are the most inexpensive and most effective of all their medicines - the process of defecation begins already 1-2 hours after admission, so it is not recommended to use osmolithics while driving a car or while at work.

The osmolytic agents for constipation include:

• geyser Karlovy Vary salt. It is used for chronic and acute constipation, as well as other diseases in order to normalize the water-salt balance of the body. As a laxative, Karlovy Vary salt should be drunk in the morning, half an hour before a meal, diluting 1 tbsp. L.Powder in a glass of water for adults, and 1 tsp. In ½ a glass of water for children;
• "Fortrans"( "Macrogol", "Transipeg").Produced in the form of sachets of powder, which must be diluted in water. The dosage of Fortrans is calculated on the basis that 15 kg of human body weight should account for 1 liter of the finished solution;
• English salt( magnesium, bitter salt) is a drug with magnesium sulfate heptahydrate as an active ingredient. It is shown to be used for the treatment of constipation, it is available in bags, which are dissolved in ½ cup of water.

Osmoliticheskie means of constipation of fast action is most often used for single cleaning of the intestine from stool during colonoscopy and other procedures on the digestive tract.

The advantageous difference between these drugs and other laxatives is that they are inexpensive and they do not form a syndrome of "lazy bowel" when they are taken.

Therefore, the use of osmolithics can be continued for a long period of time up to 3 months.

As effective drugs for constipation, intestinal fillers are used - substances that almost can not be digested by the gastrointestinal tract and increase the volume of fecal matter, and thus contribute to the speediest disposal of constipation.

The action of such drugs is based on the fact that, sucking water from the walls of the intestine, they swell and stretch it, leading to a reflex peristalsis.

Basically, these are food products containing methylcellulose, sterile, psyllium husk and other substances that act well on the intestinal peristalsis.

Intestinal excipients are considered laxatives with a delayed effect, getting rid of fecal masses during their admission occurs after a long period of time - from 12 to 24 hours.

In chronic constipation, the use of such laxatives is questionable, because not always filling the colon leads to an improvement in intestinal motility, most often in such cases, patients complain of flatulence.

Therefore, women who are at risk of miscarriage, intestinal fillers can not be used.
