Effectiveness: You take it at night, and you can feel its effect in the morning. Vegetable product: Its active components are of plant origin. Fave de Fuca® relieves occasional constipation. It is a medicine made through the association of laxative plant extracts that stimulate intestinal activity, favoring the evacuation of faeces. Action and mechanism Laxative. Association of plants with stimulant laxative (frangula and cascara sagrada) and mechanical (fucus) activity. The frangula and cascara sagrada are plants rich in anthraquinone heterosides (frangulins and glucofrangulins in the frangula; cascarosides in the cascara sagrada). These compounds appear to exert an irritating effect on intestinal nerve endings, with the release of mediators such as serotonin and histamine, which increase intestinal peristalsis. Furthermore, an effect on ATPase Na + / K + could also occur, blocking the reabsorption of water, sodium and chloride, and increasing the secretion of potassium. The result is an increase in the osmotic load in the intestinal lumen that favors the release of more water. For its part, fucus is an algae rich in mucilages, non-digestible polysaccharides with great capacity to capture water, forming a viscous and voluminous gel, which increases stool volume and promotes peristalsis, contributing to the laxative effect. The effects usually appear 6-12 hours after administration. Indications Treatment of occasional constipation. How to use: - Adults, oral: 1 tablet / 24 h.
