1. WHAT INOLAXOL IS AND WHAT IS IT USED FOR
Inolaxol is a gluten- and sugar-free volume-increasing agent (bulking agent) that normalizes bowel function in both hard and loose stools. Karayagummi contains plant fibers that swell in fluid and increase the volume of the intestinal contents.
In this way, the movements of the intestine are stimulated in the same way as with a high-fiber diet. The increased liquid content also gives a softer stool consistency.
Inolaxol Granulat is used for treating constipation, constipation associated with “sensitive” colon ( irritable bowel syndrome, IBS), cracks in the anal opening, and hemorrhoids. Inolaxol in english is also used to get soft stools after surgery and to treat diarrhea associated with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS).
You must talk to a doctor if you do not feel better or worse after 14 days.
