“DULCOSOFT” is a line of laxative products, primarily containing the active ingredient macrogol 4000, which are manufactured and marketed by major pharmaceutical corporations, including Sanofi and Boehringer Ingelheim.

Product Description
DulcoSoft products are medical devices used for the symptomatic treatment of occasional constipation and the softening of hard stools.

Mechanism of Action:
The main ingredient, macrogol 4000 (an osmotic laxative), works by using the water naturally present in the body to bind to and hydrate the stool in the colon. This softens the stools, increases their volume, and facilitates easier, more comfortable bowel movements, providing a natural feeling of relief within 24 to 72 hours.

Key Features:
It has a purely physical mode of action and is virtually not absorbed by the body, so it is excreted unchanged.
The solutions and powders are generally flavorless and can be mixed with a variety of hot or cold drinks, such as water, juice, or tea.
It is often suitable for a wide range of individuals, including pregnant/breastfeeding women (after medical consultation), diabetics (as it is sugar-free), and those on a low-sodium or gluten-free diet.

Product Variations:
The product line includes oral solutions and powders for oral solution, as well as a “2-in-1” version that also contains simeticone to help eliminate gas and reduce bloating.
