GETNOL

GETNOL

PROPERTIES AND ACTIONS

Getnol is an effective remedy for bowel cleansing which might be required prior to endoscopy or other conditions requiring complete bowel emptying and cleansing.


Macrogol 4000 consists of a mixture of non-absorbable polyethylene glycol (PEG) with a mean molecular weight of 4000 Da. When Macrogol 4000 is taken orally together with water, these water molecules bind to the polymer before entering the intestine. Reaching inside intestine, the stool volume is increased and stool consistency becomes softer. This stimulates and eases the defecation process.


Potassium Chloride eliminates electrolyte imbalance in the body, improves metabolism in the myocardium and its energy supply, has antiarrhythmic properties. Contributes to the maintenance of proper intracellular and extracellular levels of potassium, which is the main intracellular ion that plays an important role in cellular metabolism and regulation of various body functions.


Sodium Bicarbonate is an antacid that regulates the acid-base balance. It has alkaline properties, increases the alkaline reserve of the blood. When taken orally, it quickly neutralizes the hydrochloric acid of gastric juice and has a quick, but short-term antacid effect.


Sodium Chloride is an electrolyte that regulates the amount of water in the body. Sodium chloride is used to treat or prevent sodium loss caused by dehydration, excessive sweating, or other causes.


Sodium Sulfate is prescribed orally as a laxative with plenty of water for intestinal blockage and colitis, overfeeding, flatulence, deworming and poisoning with various substances. In large doses, the product helps to increase the osmotic pressure in the intestine, where there is an accumulation of a large amount of water, which dilutes the chyme and reflexively enhances peristalsis.
