Frequently asked questions

What is Lecicarbon E Co2-Laxans Drei used for?+
Lecicarbon E Co2-Laxans Drei is a rectally administered osmotic laxative used to soften stool, relieve constipation, and prepare the bowel for diagnostic procedures such as colonoscopy or for postoperative care. It works by drawing water into the colon to facilitate evacuation.
How does sodium hydrogen carbonate work in this product?+
Sodium hydrogen carbonate reacts with sodium dihydrogen phosphate in the rectal cavity to produce carbon dioxide gas and increase osmotic pressure. The resulting influx of water into the colon softens feces and stimulates peristalsis, promoting bowel movements.
