pharmachologic effect

Medicinal remedy "Moviprep" (reviews, incidentally, note the high cost of the drug) refers to laxatives that have osmotic effects.

The use of a solution of electrolytes inside, the bulk of which consists of a macrogol, provokes mild diarrhea. This action of the drug contributes to the rapid cleansing of the colon from its contents.

Macrogol 3350, together with sodium sulfate and vitamin C (ascorbic acid), give an osmotic effect that facilitates the relaxation of the intestine and its rapid emptying.

The substance macrogol 3350, as part of the drug, increases the volume of stool, which leads to a stronger intestinal peristalsis.

Electrolytes contained in the drug and a liquid that is recommended to drink at the same time as "Moviprep", do not give the medicine to disrupt the water-electrolyte balance in the body.

Macrogol 3350 practically does not change when passing through the intestinal medium and is not absorbed from the gastrointestinal apparatus. The volume of the drug that has had time to absorb, goes through the kidneys, with urine.

Most of the ascorbic acid is absorbed in the small intestine. There is an inverse relationship, oscillating between the suction fraction of the drug and the dosage taken.

When you use a solution made from powder, inside the amount of 30-180 mg for absorption is 70-85%. If vitamin C will continue to be used in a dose of up to 12 g, then its absorbability will be 2 g. Ascorbic acid, used in large doses, goes unchanged through the renal organ.

You also need to monitor the functioning of the kidneys and make an ECG.

It is rare for patients to have a severe form of arrhythmia, including atrial fibrillation, which is associated with the use of laxative drugs with osmotic effects for the bowel preparation procedure. A similar pattern is observed in patients with cardiac risks and a violation of the number of electrolytes.

If there is arrhythmia with the application of Moviprep, there are symptoms that indicate a violation of the water electrolyte balance, then it is necessary to immediately determine the number of electrolytes in the blood, make an ECG, and perform adequate therapy of the revealed abnormalities.

If there is flatulence, abdominal pain, swelling and other symptoms, you need to stop taking the medication and get advice from a doctor.
