Definitions

  • the present invention concerns a granular or powder composition for treating constipation and abdominal bloating, as well as a formulation which comprises the same composition.
  • Constipation is a common gastrointestinal disorder widespread throughout the world that affects both the adult and the child population.
  • constipation (costiveness) defines a syndrome generally associated with persistent difficulties or discomfort in the area of alvine functions. It is characterized by reduced frequency of defecation, difficulty in evacuating with the emission of hard and pellet-like stools, associated in a variable extent with a sensation of incomplete evacuation, a sensation of rectal-anal obstruction, a sensation of distension or abdominal pain or bloating.
  • Constipation is often accompanied by other symptoms of a gastrointestinal nature, including abdominal pain and distension and bloating, due to an excess of gas. In fact, if the stools remain in the intestine for a prolonged period, this leaves the intestinal flora more time for fermentation, with consequent hyper-production of gas.
  • the causes of constipation can be various and multifactorial. Constipation can be classified into primary or secondary constipation, on the basis of etiology. Primary or organic causes of constipation are the alterations of the neuromuscular mechanisms responsible for the control of gastrointestinal and anorectal functions, while secondary causes are linked to metabolic disorders, the intake of certain medicines, neurological disorders and primary diseases of the colon.
  • laxatives are also known, which have an impact on the transfer of water and electrolytes through the intestinal mucosa; they soften hardened stools and stimulate defecation.
  • laxatives can be divided into various types, the main ones being bulk-forming laxatives, lubricating laxatives, stimulating laxatives and osmotic laxatives.
  • Bulk-forming laxatives increase the volume of the non-absorbable solid residue, bringing considerable quantities of indigestible substances, in particular food fibers, which swell in contact with water. These laxatives make the stools denser and more voluminous and increase the amount of water they retain, which promotes evacuation.
  • Lubricating laxatives mix with the fecal matter, helping to soften and lubricate it. In this way, they facilitate the transit of the stools into the intestine by sliding.
  • Stimulating laxatives increase intestinal motility, in particular colic contractions to promote the progress of the stools toward the outside.
  • Osmotic laxatives are not absorbed but retain water and electrolytes in the colon, affecting the consistency of the stools so as to make them semi-solid or liquid.
  • Osmotic laxatives are the most frequently prescribed type of laxative, not only in the case of acute and chronic constipation, but also in preparation for diagnostic tests (e.g. colonoscopy) or surgery.
  • Osmotic laxatives comprise complex carbohydrates, such as lactulose or mannitol, or saline substances such as magnesium hydroxide or phosphates, or even polyethylene glycols (PEG), which are inert water-soluble polymers often with a high molecular weight.

  • Macrogol represents more than 40% by weight of the composition, preferably more than 45%, more preferably more than 50%, even more preferably more than 95% by weight.
  • macrogol is present between 45% and 99% by weight of the composition, in particular between 95% and 99% by weight of the total weight of the composition.
  • Macrogol is a high molecular weight water-soluble inert polymer, capable of forming hydrogen bonds with water molecules, operating as a pure osmotic agent, which retains the water that accompanies administration in stools and opposes its reabsorption in the large intestine.
  • the mechanism through which macrogol acts determines a rehydration and softening of the stools, thus facilitating defecation.
  • Intestinal transit is accelerated in the colon and rectum since macrogol promotes the intraluminal movement of stools with a reduced consistency due to the increase in water content.
  • the increase in stool volume dilates the intestinal wall, accelerating intestinal transit in the colon and rectum and activating the urge to defecate.
  • Macrogol therefore acts simultaneously on the main symptoms of constipation, increasing the frequency of bowel movements and reducing the consistency of the stools. Macrogol is not absorbed or metabolized in the intestinal tract and does not lead to electrolyte imbalances, if taken with the indicated dose of liquid. The mode of action of macrogol is non-specific and is independent of the pathogenesis of the disorders.
  • Macrogol has a molecular weight preferably comprised between 3000 Da and 5000 Da. More particularly, the macrogol comprised in the composition according to the invention can have a molecular weight of 3350 Da or 4000 Da. These two types of macrogol differ only in terms of the molecular weight, since they are identical in all other characteristics, in particular in terms of efficacy and safety profile.
  • electrolyte-free macrogol-based products represents an effective and safe treatment for constipation and does not lead to electrolyte imbalances, both in adults and also in children. Therefore, it does not cause side effects following its intake and, therefore, can be considered a safe and well tolerated active ingredient.
  • composition according to the invention also comprises an anti-foaming agent, in particular dimethicone, preferably activated with the addition of silicon oxide gels.
  • an anti-foaming agent in particular dimethicone, preferably activated with the addition of silicon oxide gels.
  • activated dimethicone is simethicone.
  • Dimethicone is a silicone belonging to the family of polydimethylsiloxanes which has anti-foaming properties, which are the basis of its beneficial effects. Dimethicone has a polymeric structure consisting of a succession of silicon and oxygen atoms (polydimethylsiloxane), mixed with silica gel. The latter ingredient is hydrophobic, stable at high temperatures, physiologically inactive, non-toxic and safe when taken orally. It is not absorbed by the gastrointestinal tract and does not interfere with the digestive processes in any way whatsoever.
  • the anti-foaming action is exerted through a physical mechanism of reduction of the surface tension of the gas bubbles.
  • the mixture of polydimethylsiloxane and hydrophobic silica disperses on the surface of aqueous liquids, forming a low surface tension film that breaks easily. In this way, the gas contained in the bubbles present in the gastrointestinal tract is released and unites to form entities of a larger size (coalescence) which are easily eliminated.
  • activated dimethicone in particular simethicone, decreases the surface tension of the gas bubbles present in the gastrointestinal tract, facilitating their expulsion.
  • the elimination of gases reduces the sensation of bloating and abdominal distension.
  • dimethicone does not cause any side effects whatsoever following its intake, and therefore can be considered a safe and well-tolerated agent.
  • Numerous clinical studies have shown the efficacy and safety of using dimethicone in reducing the symptoms caused by excess gas in the intestine, regardless of its causes.
  • the activated dimethicone supports the main action of the composition, given by macrogol, and helps relieve the discomfort caused by bloating and flatulence, gastrointestinal symptoms that often accompany constipation.
  • dimethicone in particular activated dimethicone (for example simethicone) is present in a concentration comprised between 0.05% and 2%, more preferably between 0.1% and 1% of the composition.
  • activated dimethicone for example simethicone
  • constipation is often accompanied by gastrointestinal symptoms (including abdominal distention, meteorism, and flatulence) caused by excess gas. Gas is formed as a consequence of the prolonged stay of the stools in the intestine, which gives the intestinal bacterial flora more time for fermentation.
  • macrogol-based solutions can also be accompanied by flatulence and abdominal bloating.
  • activated dimethicone as a secondary ingredient in macrogol-based formulations for the asymptomatic treatment of constipation helps to alleviate the discomfort caused by these symptoms, without interfering in any way whatsoever with the main mechanism of action of the product that is conferred by macrogol.
