4 CLINICAL PARTICULARS
4.1 THERAPEUTIC INDICATIONS
Symptomatic treatment of constipation in adults and children aged 8
years and above.
An organic disorder should have been ruled out before initiation of
treatment with Macrosoft. Macrosoft should remain
a temporary adjuvant treatment to appropriate lifestyle and dietary
management of constipation, with a maximum 3-

associated dietary measures, an underlying cause
should be suspected and treated.
4.2 POSOLOGY AND METHOD OF ADMINISTRATION
Posology
It is generally recommended to consider healthy lifestyle measures
such as adequate hydration, physical activity, and
increased natural fibre intake. In case the symptoms persist or get
worse, a physician should be consulted.
_Adults_
1 to 2 sachets (10 to 20 g macrogol 4000) per day, preferably taken as
a single dose in the morning.
_Paediatric population_
~_ CHILDREN_
_8 YEARS AND ADOLESCENTS:_ 1 to 2 sachets (10 to 20 g macrogol 4000)

dose in the morning.

be one movement per day. In children, treatment should not exceed 3
months due to a lack o
