What Resulax is and what it is used for
Resulax is a micro-release intended for single use. It softens hard stools and has a lubricating effect on the intestinal mucosa, thereby facilitating intestinal emptying. Resulax usually works within 5-15 minutes.
Resulax is used for temporary constipation. Resulax is also used for emptying the bowel before examination inside the bowel ( rectoscope ) or to achieve bowel emptying before and after, for example, childbirth and surgery.
