Abstract

The invention provides a compressed pharmaceutical composition comprising polyethylene glycol of molecular weight from 2000 to 4500, wherein the polyethylene glycol makes up from 80 to 99.5% by weight of the composition, one or more electrolytes for the treatment of constipation, faecal impaction, faecal retention, intestinal gas and cramping, or flatulence; or for orthostatic lavage, colon evacuation or colon cleansing. It has been found, surprisingly, that a compressed pharmaceutical composition comprising PEG for example a solid tablet, is significantly more palatable than previously proposed compositions and is effective when administered. The compressed pharmaceutical composition of the invention comprising polyethylene glycol has been found to have a more agreeable taste and a more agreeable mouthfeel than previously proposed liquid or dry powder or granular compositions.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to compositions for the treatment of constipation, fecal obstruction, fecal stagnation, gasspasm, flatulence and also compositions for standing enemas, colon purgatives or colon cleansing. The invention particularly relates to compositions useful in the treatment of constipation. The invention still further relates to methods of use of the composition. Background technique [0002] Constipation is a common condition that often causes discomfort. Stool retention in the colon and / or rectum can cause discomfort and headaches. In extreme cases, the presence of hard or dry stools in the rectum can cause prolonged constipation and painful stools. [0003] Many treatments for constipation have been developed, including dietary controls (eg, increasing the fiber content of foods and avoiding foods thought to cause constipation), laxatives, and enemas. Laxatives are agents that promote and assist laxative...
