Frequently asked questions

What is Macrogol 4000 Strides used for?+
Macrogol 4000 Strides is an oral osmotic laxative indicated for the temporary relief of occasional constipation in adults and children. It works by increasing water content in the stool, making bowel movements easier and more regular.
How does Macrogol 4000 work?+
