Product description

dietary supplements. It is not a medicinal product

Composition

Active ingredient

Castor oil

(castor oil) – 30 g,50 g or 100 g

Pharmacological action

A laxative. When taken orally, it is broken down by lipase in the small intestine to form ricinoleic acid, which causes irritation of intestinal receptors throughout its entire length and reflex increased peristalsis. The laxative effect usually occurs in 5-6 hours. When taking castor oil, there is also a reflex contraction of the uterine muscles.

Indications

Constipation, bowel preparation before diagnostic procedures.

Contraindications

Hypersensitivity to the drug, “acute” stomach, pregnancy, children under 12 years of age, poisoning with fat-soluble substances (phosphorus, benzene, etc. ), treatment of helminth infestation with male fern extract. Use during pregnancy and lactation. The use of the drug during pregnancy is contraindicated. If it is necessary to use the drug during lactation, stop breastfeeding for the entire period of treatment.

Side effects

Possible allergic reactions. With prolonged use – intestinal atony, hypovitaminosis A and D. If you experience any of the side effects listed in the instructions or if they get worse, or if you experience any other side effects not listed in the instructions, you should immediately inform your doctor.

Interaction

When used concomitantly, it reduces the absorption of fat-soluble vitamins A, D and K. In doses up to 4 g/day, it increases the absorption of fat-soluble preparations – male fern extract, mebendazole, griseofulvin, probucol. When used simultaneously with saline laxatives, a sharp increase in the laxative effect is possible. M-anticholinergic agents (atropine sulfate, platyphylline, pirenzepine), antispasmodics (papaverine, drotaverine), antihistamines weaken the effect of castor oil. Enhances the effect of agents that stimulate the contractile activity of the myometrium (methylergometrine, ergometrine, oxytocin, prostaglandins), up to the threat of uterine rupture during childbirth. Prolonged use of castor oil can lead to the development of hypokalemia, which may increase the effect of cardiac glycosides and reduce the effectiveness of antiarrhythmic drugs. Concomitant use of castor oil with diuretics, corticosteroids, and licorice root preparations may increase potassium loss. If you use the above and other medications (including over-the-counter medications), please consult your doctor before using castor oil.
